Edinburgh isn’t so much a city, more a way of life … I doubt I’ll ever tire of exploring Edinburgh, on foot or in print
Ian Rankin
A beautiful, crisp blue day, a few days before Christmas. There’s music in the air, and a bit of a bite in the tousling wind. Sun’s rays in mist over the Pentland Hills. Conversations in multiple languages. Laughter in the universal language of laughter. Architecture, sky and sunlight in the very particular language of Edinburgh. WhatsApp with friends glad to be away for holidays, but whose presence here is felt ‘in spirit’ until they return. Not so much a city, more a way of life …
.
I feel the nip in the air, Simon, and the frisson of excitement that runs through the crowd as people hurry to and fro finishing up last minute shopping or just enjoying a respite in the fresh air. Sending huge hugs and Christmas love your way….
Your photos are fantastic – and your love of Edinburgh shines through each one. They delight – I unconsciously smile as I look at them. Would that every city was imbued with the delight of Edinburgh. I wish you a ton of holiday spirits (not alcohol) and the beauty of peace and calm overtakes all the fractiousness in the world..xx
