A typical London Bus, originally uploaded by jiruan.
What nice about Flickr is that your photos will be exposed to a large photo-loving community hosted in Flickr. And people give feedbacks to your photos.
For example, this is a snapshot that I took in London last year’s April, and it has been sitting in my hard-drive for more than 1 year now. Yesterday I put it on my flickr and today someone marked it as a favorite. Isn’t it nice to know that some particular people like a particular photo of you and you never meet each other?
This is not the whole story. I was curious about who this person was, and then I followed a link to his or her photo page on flickr. It turned out that there were quite a few photos on buses & coaches there. And I also found that there is a even larger community called “Scania Bus & Coach in the UK ” which collects all sorts of photos related to buses and coaches in UK.
BTW, the double-decked red bus appeared as a symbol of London in the closing ceremony of Beijing Olympic Games. I think it is indeed a good choice as it represents the people, the efficient way of transportation, and a typical scene in a London Street.
