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…
