School Bus

Pity this was out of focus, but it matches the bleary-eyed condition of the photographer, waiting in the bus shelter in the sheeting rain on a Monday morning.

Our sleep had already been interrupted by a faulty fire alarm shrieking us out into the windy darkness by the sea wall while the rest of the hotel sagely ignored it. But it began an interesting day of interactions, from lounge bar to post-bus to airport.

(The bus shelters on South Uist are not furnished with travel information of any kind, but they do all warn you not to smoke).
