Bus stop on N124, HBM

a comfortable bus stop ;-) excellent perspective, compo and clarity !

A metal-clad bus stop...............if you use that in this hot weather, you'll end up baking!

Nicely composed, with good leading lines from the roadway. It's nice to see some tall, green trees in the frame and I love the colour of the sky!

Trees are eucalyptus, obrigada Keith.

At one time I would occasionally ride an early morning bus up to the airport. Then COVID hit and the buses stopped - but I wasn't flying anywhere then, anyway. It has started up again, but the one time I used it, the bus was smaller, uncomfortable and quite crowded. Now I drive up and park in a well-kept parking lot that shuttles people to the airport. This unfortunately wastes gasoline. Progress is not always in a straight line.

Contradictions of modern life...

It is difficult to maintain a bus line when there is only one bus a day. Nice idea for the challenge.

In Winter time there are more often, but in Summer just holiday people dare visit our too hot to dry for them area, they stay by the sea with the croud and milder temperatures...

Einsame Ecke dort, hoffentlich kommt ein Bus;-)

And quite a walk to the closest village !

not really overcrowded....

No...

the same in Finland, a lot of buses in the countryside are not working anymore.

A pity... but...

That leaves a long time if you just miss the bus. ;-))

Better hitch hike then !

Superb shot and info!

Obrigada William.

A poignant photo- our countryside has the same problems; hardly any transport except for school buses. Everyone uses cars...

And we are suposed to be more sustainable...

As long as money rules, it never will be:-(

A belated HBM, btw!

Well seen and captured Isabel.

Juste avant ou juste après le carrefour pour Giões, je vais vérifier . La chaleur transpire au delà du cliché.

Antes quando se vem do Pereiro…

HBM Isabel.
Have a great week.

At least the bus stop stops the glare of the sun but you wouldn't want to wait too long in there Isabel. A lovely shot and excellent perspective. Lovely light on this tree lined road
HBM and have a good week ahead

In winter there are more users, look my comment above to Esther, obrigada Carol.

At least the metal cover gives some shade while waiting for the bus (and even stops the occasional drop of rain), though in the heat of summer it would certainly bake. HBM and have a good week, Isabel.

It does bake... obrigada George.

totalmente rural¡¡¡¡¡ en medio d ela nada¡¡¡

El espacio rural ha sufrido del exodo hasta las ciudades, quedan los viejos y algunos jovenes idealistas...

Ob der Bus wohl kommt? HBM!

Maybe later in the day...

Here you better not miss your bus;-)) HBM Isabel.

Indeed !

HBM, Isabel !

Super cool! I like those deserted bus stops where nobody is waiting for a bus that doesn't show up ;-))
HBM Isabel!

Exactly it !!!

excellent seen. Have a good week

Very nice capture without traffic either, Isabel
HBM and a nice week

Deserted area, look my comment above to Mario please.

Outstanding photo.

The metal cover is not good to wait long time in Summer! But at least some trees there...
Lovely perspective,Isabel!
HBM!
Have a nice new week!

Best wishes
Füsun

And sometimes some wind too... it helpss !
Best wishes for you too.

Your photograph prompted me to check out the location and bus schedule for this district Isabel. Many thanks for posting your photograph.

It is quite a remote location but the shelter and bench are well placed to be on the shady side of the road. Best wishes.

Another bus line to ad to your collection, have no idea of the schedule, know that in August it is reduced to one a day each way, so I have been told but did not check...

Warten auf Godot.
HBM und einen guten Start in die Woche, Isabel!

Can be seen like that, enjoy your week too.

Hi Isabel
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition, showing how desolate the place seems...
Best Wishes, Happy Monday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
Peter

Our deserted area...
Same wishes for you too.

I love the trees.

About 30km of almost straight road with eucalyptus on each side...

Pity que ce soient des calitros, como sempre diria o Joringa.
Mais um que já foi.

Os calitros tbém vão indo, falta de água…

Great capture Isabel. Interesting to know. Rural areas here are the same, very few buses. Only the cities have good transport.

Thought after covid maybe some people would desire a simpler calmer life… seems not many…

That bus stop looks like it's in the middle of nowhere. I wonder how many customers it sees?

Not many but I don’t know…
