Something Many Of Us Take For Granted,

bus shelters, 


well here are a few that stand out from the crowd in Germany, this one in Hanover, the capital city of Lower Saxony and a town famed for its annual commercial fairs, the half-million-strong city also hosted Expo 2000, one of the last and largest world fairs, the bus shelter above is situated in the Königsworther Platz and was photographed by Flickr member jaime.silva in June of 2009,

this curiously boat-shaped bus shelter can be found in Hanover’s Rathaus/Friederichswall district, again by Flickr member jaime.silva snapped the scene in August of 2009,

students at the regional school in Bad Kleinen, near Hamburg, enjoy waiting for their ride home at this shamelessly Simpsons-esque bus shelter, Flickr member Patrick, captured the homage in July of 2013,

the above bus shelter located near Gemeinde Marihn reflects the region’s traditional lifestyle in both its construction and the pleasingly pastoral paint job, Flickr member Thomas Kohler snapped the rural “bushaltestelle” in early September of 2011,

 this rather tall bus shelter in Leipzig, Saxony still impresses with echoes of Moorish style and a complex bi-color roof treatment, Flickr member Marico (Long Sleeper) captured this spacious bus shelter in August of 2014,

this luxurious bus shelter in Neuenkirchen, Schleswig-Holstein is so comfy & cozy, one’s tempted to let every bus go by without boarding, the shelter was snapped by Flickr member peter clements (onetenpete) in late September of 2015,


according to Flickr member Prick of Conscience (tendentiousD), “Bus shelters like the one shown here were common in this part (Hallingdorf, Lower Saxony) of Germany, made of a single piece of some composite material, highly durable, and in my experience kept the rain and snow off more effectively, if you are into bus shelters we have featured them a couple of times before, some in Belarus and a couple in Japan.
