For this week’s Fun Foto Challenge, Dan wants us to look at things from above 😎 I was wondering how to approach this subject – Just what would count as ‘From Above’. Dan’s post has answered that question for me, so here is my selection.

London’s double deck buses provide an excellent place for people-watching. Here’s a full and frank discussion taking place in Crouch End…

Bridges provide good vantage points. Canary Wharf Station sits above South Colonnade and provides a view of the London Marathon…

56015 + 47309 at Retford (JUN80)

And I caught 66433 in August 2018 on a Tescoliner near Auchterarder…

Finally, back to the top deck and an 83 bus seen from an 83 bus on Ealing Road, Alperton….

  1. Somehow I knew you would come good with this challenge Martin. Great mix of places and vehicles

    1. Thanks Brian 😎👍

  2. I like how you came full circle with these wonderful photos. Trains rolling along under a bridge is a favorite thing for me.

    1. Thanks Dan 😎👍 The post grew in the telling and it somehow worked its way back to the bus 😅 I knew the trains would be to your liking 😉
