red castle
This was the view from our vacation rental in Edinburgh. I wonder if that construction situation on the left side is finished and how soon I ought to go back to get another photo…

abbey strand (with rain)
I didn’t actually even own an umbrella until I was 19 years old and was moving from Lubbock to a wetter locale for college. And then I went someplace even wetter for grad school, where I know for sure I kept umbrellas in my car all the time. But then I came back to Lubbock and probably don’t quite recall how to open an umbrella. And when I went to Scotland last year, I didn’t even take an umbrella with me. I’m not a total idiot – I had a waterproof coat with a hood and anyway how can you hold an umbrella AND use a camera?

st. giles and his arches
These kinds of arches are just about my favorite part of any cathedral I’ve ever been in. And I want to go ahead and apologize to everyone I’ve bumped into while I’m busy looking up instead of paying attention to where I am going.

charcuterie
If you stay in one spot long enough and take a million photos you might get one that nearly works….

catching a bit of sunshine
I mentioned the other day that winter sunsets in Scotland happen every early, at 3:40 pm on the Solstice. Plus it’s a cloudy and drizzly place. So who can blame people who find a scrap of sun to sit in while they read The Lord of the Flies?
(Sunset at the summer Solstice is 10:03 pm. I knew you were wondering.)
