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?

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.)

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.

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.
