‘Scene’ in Bristol 1 Express Coaches on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

For what was our last transport themed outing of the year, friend Peter Rose and I had a day in Bristol.

 

The day was dominated by a clear blue autumn sky and long shadows.

 

Not ideal conditions, but as always, we do our best.

 

For the first time, we have combined all the images we have taken so the credits are joint D.Basford/P.M.Rose.

If my Portuguese is correct, Boa Vista translates as ‘good view’.

 

Rather apt for a double deck coach!
