Opening nominations a bit earlier this month - you may now submit entires for Photo of the Month for October 2012. In addition to being shown on the actbus.net front page for a month (and added to the POTM archive), the winning photo will also be loaded to ACT Bus on facebook and, if suitable, will be used as the cover photo for the ACT Bus facebook page.

Here are the rules:

  • no more than two photos per user
  • photos must be taken within the ACT or Queanbeyan or else be of a former ACT bus
  • photos must not have been previously submitted for POTM
  • the bus must be the main subject of the photograph
  • the bus must be in focus
  • the fleet or registration number of the bus must be identifiable (or supplied by photographer if not visible in photograph)
  • photograph must be user's own work or submitted with permission of the photographer

Refer here for full ACT Bus photo submission conditions.

For ease of viewing, photos should be displayed with a width of 640. You can do this by including the option width=640 in the image tag - as follows "[img width=640]"

Submissions close midnight 23 September.

As for last month: a minimum of 6 photos is required for voting to take place. Should there not be 6 photos by close of nominations, non-winning photos from previous months will be added to the nominations - photos will be selected by myself and/or Buzz Killington.

For something a little different, I'll start with Greyhound Coach 137 sitting on Alinga Street, City:



Next up is Murray's Coach 274 departing Floriade having just completed the Sydney to Canberra Express.

Sir Pompously



BUS-439 passes a Murrays charter vehicle on Black Mountain operating the weekend tourist service (981).

King of Buses

G'day all,
For this month I've got Bus 448 exiting the Belconnen Depot.


Bidgee

#4
Bus 340 arriving at City Bus Station on route 956.


Something different! Denning Landseer owned by Marrara Christian College (on the old NT standard issue plate [912-912]) parked on Northbourne Ave.

Sir Pompously

#5
My second nomination for POTM:


TV 3594 a MCW Metrobus MkII from City Sightseeing Sydney is seen at Regatta Point on Barrine Drive operating the free City to Floriade service. This bus is familiar with Canberra as it was originally here operating for City Sightseeing Canberra and before that it was a Hong Kong local operating as ML-21.
