The Royal Mile, courtyard adjacent to the Writers Museum.
Followed by: Holyrood Palace, Grayfriars Bobby ( with our daughter doing the ritual ), Various flora.
Next post ( stop ) will be Dublin. We spent three days in Edinburgh, which included going to the Annual Military Tattoo, which was as amazing this time as our first.
Architectural note: Edinburgh is the only major city in the world that does not have or allow skyscrapers. Although the city has an “old town”, the entire city seems old- like stepping back in time.
These were taken during one of the less-smokey days we had this summer. Still, the visibility is affected. The BC forest fires robbed us of many nice, summer days.
Location: Rail road tracks that run parallel to Airport Way So. in Georgetown , Seattle. There’s a blast of steam in the middle of the image coming from a small industrial building. Downtown Seattle in the distance.
Before the Alaskan Way Viaduct is torn down ( within a year or so) I thought I should get some more photos from the perspective of the Viaduct. Shots like these will be impossible once the demo starts.
Partial skyline, Seattle.
