One woman photographed at dusk, walking between the church and the cemetery. Also, sunset this time of year in Edinburgh is at 4:20 pm, in case you were wondering.

Talk about a bleak message on a tombstone…but memories do fade, no matter how much you think they won’t.

late afternoon traffic

Last year when I came back from Scotland, I wasn’t really doing very well – physically and mentally – while I was there, and during post-trip editing I felt a little bit like the quantity and quality of my images didn’t quite justify the trip.

But it’s a new year. I feel better. I’ve learned….well, I’ve learned a lot. And the photos from last year that I thought were too dumb to even look at suddenly seem a lot different.

That is ONE TALL COWBOY. And I’m pretty sure that, while he’s super polite and takes his hat off when he meets a lady and says “howdy” and all that, he also isn’t going to be too inclined to take any shit off of anyone.

with every heartbeat

We wandered around Bob Wills’s hometown, ate ice cream for lunch*, checked out what was going on at the hotel.

And then when we left, we played “Faded Love.”
