The last bus - # 08/271

Just what you don't want to see on a cold winter night.

(P.S. Sorry for the lack of images and comment at the moment. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible).

Karl Moritz's stage coach - # 135

OK Readers! We are going in search of Karl Moritz. Click on the Karl Moritz link on the right and find his letters about going from Kensington to Richmond on the STAGE COACH!

This epic "search" will go on for many days (it's taken me weeks to prepare - it's not finished either) and try to relive some of his excitement at being a tourist in England.

Karl describes his excitement riding both inside and on the top of the stage coach. This is the top deck of a London bus. I want you to notice the artistry of the gracefully curved grab-bars and seat backs. They are very elegant. The best view is at night, from the outside, seeing the lighted bus come towards you. The upstairs is a lovely arcade of bright light and graceful yellow bars. Watch out for it. It's a good little image of typical London.

(I "tweaked" the image slightly to enhance the yellow. Sorry, but it was necessary)
