Numerous cannons look down from Edinburgh Castle on the city
I spent a great deal of my time in Edinburgh last weekend looking up, or looking down. To begin with the sky was bleak, making the perfect background for my WordPress snow. I’m really not looking forward to the real thing, but so far we’ve been lucky.
This morning I’d like to share some photos on Debbie’s challenge, at Travel with Intent. It’s all about looking up, or down.
I looked up hopefully at the sky. Maybe a hint of brightness?
In Princes St. I looked down on the gardens
And on the Christmas market
And on the ice skaters!
The children looked up hopefully at the carousel horse.
Over on Calton Hill I looked up at sun brightening the tombstones
And down to Holyrood Palace and the Scottish Parliament
The sun was beginning to set
Over the distinctive architecture of the Scottish Parliament
The rosy hue stretched all the way down the Royal Mile
And draped a scarf over the skyline as I walked back over North Bridge
This time last week I was really excited at the prospect of visiting this lovely city. I’m so glad I did. Happy weekend everybody!
Don’t forget to join the challenge if you’ve been looking up or down lately.
le foto sono venute benissimo anche con i dispetti del sole! alcune prospettive sono veramente incantevoli, come quella con l’antico cannone
spero per te una bella domenica, Jo
photos came well even with the teasing of the Sun! perspectives are really beautiful, like the one with the old Cannon
I hope for you a nice Sunday
Beautiful pink skies here today, Ventis, but I have much work to do. Tomorrow I can play 🙂 (I’m meeting my daughter for a Christmas hug at a beautiful historic house in our Peak District) Have a lovely day yourself, cara.
Glorious! I love winter holidays in European citiies~
In a big warm coat, Cindy 🙂
