edinburgh castle at sunset
more photos on the same here (my flickr account)
holyrood place
i think it looks better from the inside
camera obscura
if you are in edinburgh on a sunny day, you must go and see the camera obscura. it’s quite fantastic, especially the bit where you can lift up cars etc..
here’s the town
and here it is with the light on
up a hill
i walked up a hill in edinburgh yesterday afternoon just before sunset and got this nice silouhette of a person. he took the same kind of picture for the person ahead of him and so it goes on.
binoculars(s)
binoculars are one of those words which are fun to abbrev(iate). in our family we call them ‘binos’, whilst kezia calls them ‘oculars’. we have some friends who call them ‘binocs’
whatever they are they are quite fantastic and it would be good to spend one day a month wearing them instead of normal glasses.
bru-bite
i thought a typical scottish drink would be lager and irn-bru. it wasn’t. and now i understand why.
harry potter’s platform 9 3/4
this is a great thing at Kings Cross station. How long would it have taken them to set this up, and how many smiles has it brought to the faces of people who pass it ?
i suspect there’s a high smile to investment ratio.
busted by the ticket man
there’s something quite funny about this pen scrawled graffit on my train. we need some legal wipe-clean area on our trains where people can graffiti rather than doing it on the seat backs.
beware of falling rocks
so that’s how the dinosaurs dies out.
pink moped outside the ten bells
this pub has a grizzly connection to london history, but i don’t want to provide a link so i won’t.
