‘SCENE’ IN SCOTLAND AGAIN 1 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

From time to time, I publish blog a day for a limited period. 

 

In the past it has been at a holiday time or to report on the Coach and Bus show at the NEC.

 

So for no other reason that it is Easter and maybe we all need a bit of cheering up, I will publish this blog today (Good Friday) and further blogs on Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

 

I had been wondering what to publish when out of the blue came images from friends Peter Rose and Stuart Montgomery. 

 

It is their work then that will be on show over the next few days and of course with their co-operation and permission.

 

Both of these gentlemen are supporters of the ‘Buses/Trains in the environment’ concept so out of respect for their views, the images have not been cropped by myself.

 

I start with Stuarts images from an almost deserted Edinburgh.

 

The images have been gathered in the last couple of weeks when as an Edinburgh resident he is out on his daily exercise as accepted by the government.

 

He properly socially distanced himself from other people so neither anyone else nor himself was put at risk.

 

Out of the selection Stuart sent me, this has to take pride of place. 

 

Not for the bus but for the sentiment expressed in the bus shelter advert with which myself and millions more of us would agree.
