plants/coffee
The very first thing we did when we got to Edinburgh was to drop our bags at the hotel. The second thing we did was to seek out some coffee, which we found at this lovely shop that sells plants and coffee. It was a tiny place made even cozier by the condensation on the insides of the windows and the drizzle outside.
And later that day, after I’d had coffee and a brief exploration of our temporary new neighborhood, someone did me the kind favor of walking by with a purple umbrella.

as the village awakes (a few stars remain)
The morning that the rest of the group hiked out to photograph sunrise at the lighthouse, I stayed behind to watch (and, of course, photograph) the sun rise on the town and its harbor.

trailer/falls
A farm trailer and a waterfall, also discovered because of the detour that I mentioned yesterday.
These waterfalls come and go, depending on how much rain there’s been. This one was rushing and just as I left the sound of it changed – and the amount of water noticeably increased. And on the other hand, when I looked at this place on a street-view map, the trailer was there but not one drop of water was flowing down the mountain.

mountains and ruins
We hadn’t planned on going on this road, but a car crash blocked the road we meant to take, necessitating a detour.
And what a detour it was…

before the rainbow
If you squint and/or zoom in, you may be able to see the tiny, faint piece of a rainbow on the far left. Just seconds after I made this photo, a huge, bright rainbow appeared, which resulted in a group of photographers going as fast as they could across wet rocks and slippery seaweed (while carrying cameras and tripods) to get the right angle for The Shot of wrecked boats and a rainbow (which shortly turned into a double rainbow).
Any non-photographers who saw the scramble probably thought, “Photographers are weird.”
They are not wrong, of course. But we’re weird in a nice way.
