Same scene
Same scene, entirely different colours, day, sky and temperature …
Cloudscape
I don’t quite know why I am so enthralled by ever changing cloudscape and landscape, only that I am – and that watching the world around me has, throughout my life, kept me from that oft-complained-of state called boredom.
Every hour of every day and night something fresh and new appears before me. Tiny figures high on the Crags in front of my window here are people braving today’s stiff wind to marvel at the 360 degree view of Edinburgh and the gradual fading of the light …
Post Lunch Princes Street
After lunch, heading home via Princes Street in its autumnal splendour …
Evocando España
Edinburgh is a tad chilly this evening and thoughts of family members happy on their holidays this week, together with stumbling across this lovely photo, have been evoking Spain. ¡Hasta luego!
P&P (*sort of)
Super evening supper with friends, a very funny couple of hours with P&P at the Edinburgh Lyceum, and then a photogenic walk home …
Boléro en France
Great station concourses offer our being transported in more ways than one …
Contrast
Warm thanks to friends in both Lakeland and Edinburgh for these wonderfully contrasting photos this morning. ‘On fire’ in the Lakes and ‘under haar’ beneath the Crags – both very atmospheric …
Relocation
Wishing every happiness in her lovely new home to my friend JMN – on moving day …
Mist and gold
We’re living in tumultuous times – pretty much wherever we live. All of us do well to spend at least some time each day focusing on things that bring us joy, and that has always been the chief intention of this very personal blog. Autumn in Edinburgh – mist and blown gold today – affords daily opportunity to practice that intention.
Wednesday
Neighbourhood
I’ve made more photos of Edinburgh than I could possibly count, but every day I see new beauty in this city. ‘I wonder if I’ll ever stop being enchanted by Edinburgh?’ – I asked a friend. ‘You won’t,’ was the emphatic reply. ‘Ever.’
More breezy encounters
‘Hold on to your hat’ was the leitmotif of the day here in windy Edinburgh, ‘and don’t forget a winter coat and scarf.’ Chilly indeed, but beautiful, and vibrant as ever wherever one looks. Autumn colours and early festive lights at The Dome. Shopping. A coffee stop. More photographs. And by early evening glad to be warm, well fed, and home …
Royal Botanic Gardens
A wonderful Sunday Promenade in Edinburgh’s fabulous Royal Botanic Gardens today – where autumnal colour changes (already stunningly beautiful) are said to be only just beginning …
