Photo of the Month: March 2013

[Buzz Killington]

Time to pull out those memory cards - entries may now be submitted for Photo of the Month for March 2013. 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. The winner and runner-up will also be included in the Photo of the Year vote.

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/Queanbeyan 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: http://actbus.net/?p=263

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 21 February

To ensure there are sufficient photos to choose from, 6 photos are 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 actbusspotter.

Although I cut it far too fine on the left hand side of the shot, I'll submit the following:

Here are my two entries for this month :)

Both photos are from the recently started Route 100 Centenary Loop service.

Dennis Dart (143) passes the Captain Cook Memorial Fountain as it travels down Commonwealth Avenue.

And in the Special Livery for the Centenary Loop is (141), making its way up Anzac Parade to the Australian War Memorial.
