Parked at Sunset/ Sky Watch

All quiet on the western front

I admire school bus drivers. I have no idea how they keep their sanity while driving a busload of noisy kids home at the end of the day.

But at the time of this sunset photo, the bus was empty under this light pole and the driver was inside his/her house . And I hope the driver was enjoying the beauty and serenity of the western sky as much as I was.

    Oh, wow! The sky is amazing! It looks like it's on fire! Spectacular. I got my daughter's bus driver a thank you gift this year. They are heroes!

    What a gorgeous sky EG. So pretty.
    I have to agree with you, that the bus drivers must be such special folks, and I give them tons of credit.
    I couldn't do it.
    Happy SWF.

    The sky is wonderful yes, but the composition is amazing! The flag, the illuminated school bus, oh a postcard please!

    Let's hope it was, I agree with you I could never drive a bus like that (even though I have kids). Lovely sky!!

    This is a great sunset and the bus with the reflections gives the pictures an extra punch. Well done,

    Now that's really fire in the sky!

    P.S. You couldn't pay me enough to drive a school bus!

    I thought teaching was tough sometimes, but bus drivers have the hardest job of all!

    How come so many people with really hard jobs get paid so little?

    That's a fantastic sunset and I love the way the school bus appears in the shot. I don't see how the school bus drivers do it either.

    Now that is a spectacular photo. I like that neon thing on the bus.

    I too wonder how bus drivers deal and cope with all those noisy kids they shuttle too and from school. But I salute their patience.

    Oh I like this. It tells a whole story...the end of a day at work, the cool colours of a spring evening set against the blazing sky. Home.

    Oh wow, that is a beautiful sky. Glorious--It seems to me that here we have been having a great amount of great skies lately.
    I think if I was a bus driver I would drive off a cliff. MB

    Marvelous sunset! And I agree... I don't know how you stay sane driving a school bus either. Just driving my two around when they were younger tried my patience.
