Out in the snow

A Peoria Charter bus sits in the parking lot of the Crossroads Mall in Waterloo, Iowa as its passengers spend the night at a nearby hotel. This overnight stay may not have been scheduled as the weather had been very bad with many highways in the area being closed.

Boise Winnemucca Stages MCI

I always like the colors of Boise-Winnemucca Stages buses. Their newer buses are even better looking that some of their older ones.

One irony is the name of the bus company that started out by providing bus service from Boise to yes Winnemucca where it connected to Greyhound.

The company stopped running that route about a decade ago but the name lives on.

A Utah Transit Authority Van Hool is traveling eastbound on 3500 South in West Valley City, Utah.

The sun was low enough that it did not provide harsh light and in the perfect position to light up the front of the bus.

The bus is traveling along along dedicated bus lanes that were recently opened along a short stretch of 3500 south.

Friday we went up to Park City for some relaxation and of course for the opportunity to take a few pictures.

Here is a shot of a Park City Gillig Advantage Low Floor sitting at the Historic Main Street Transit Station in the historic part of Park City.

Back in the days...

RTD 6100 in Pasadena
Originally uploaded by Dornoff Photography

The first camera I started taking pictures with was my dad's old Polaroid Instamatic that he used for his job but was also our personal camera.

It wasn't long before I got my first camera to call my own which was an old 110mm with no built in flash (yes you actually had to buy disposable flash bulbs for it). My second 110mm camera did have a built in flash and I used that camera until graduating to a SLR in High School.

With those old 110mm cameras I mostly took pictures of buses and trains.

This photo was taken across the street from the Plaza Pasadena mall that was under construction. The company my brother worked for at the time (Ernest Hahn) was the one building the mall.

The bus is a 1968 Flixble 40-footer with a/c. These were the first buses ever ordered by the RTD with A/C in them.

While those old 110mm cameras may have been nothing special in the picture department, a picture is still worth a 1000 words...
