Golden lights and fireworks

November 15, 2013


We spend our evening in Edinburgh by strolling through the city and making as much detours as possible on our way back to the station. Since it was the Fringe festival, the city was full of music, everywhere you could stop and listen to someone singing or playing. There was a very special atmosphere in the air, almost magical.





Just before we caught our bus back to Glasgow, as if the city wanted to say Goodbye, there were fireworks. 
A wonderful completion of our day. 

Edinburgh, you old heartbreaker!











And then we set off on a journey across the North Sea to a much more northern point - the actual destination of our travels: Shetland!

  1. These pictures reflect really beautiful atmosphere, they make me miss those nights with no special plans, when we only wander through the streets and hope to stumble upon some small and lovely coincidences. This thought does motivate me to study and finish my exame as soon as it is possible. I guess it means something, right?;-)

    1. Thank you, Niken! "The magic of Edinburgh"... exactly... I should have named this post like this. It sounds beautiful. And it makes me instantly think of the sunset over Edinburgh and how blue this city looks at night.

    1. Yes, the Fringe's atmosphere is wonderful - especially the concerts going on everywhere and the music coming out of all corners. It's a little bit as if the whole city stops for a while just to play ... I'm happy you like the pictures, Rhianne!

  8. Edinburgh ist so toll. Wenn es nur nicht so weit entfernt wäre, denn ohne Hund und somit im Flieger verreise ich nicht. :( Traumhaft schön deine Bilder von Schottland.
