Urban exploring

I went for a walk along the Water of Leith with Christina yesterday.


On the way to the point where we met (which was an hour's walk, and I later found out Christina had thought I would probably take a bus) I finally took a picture of the road sign that had grabbed my attention a couple of times before. I was never a real fan of rap music, but somehow this grafitti conveys a nice nostalgic feeling...


Slateford isn't the most inspiring area of Edinburgh, and it got worse the further south I walked, but sometimes there were nice views to be had. Somehow I like this railway going toward the Pentlands.


Nice autumnal colours.


Some local fauna in the Water of Leith. Spotting the heron would be a lot easier if I had had a proper camera on me, but as I only remembered that I should have taken it when I was already more than ten minutes from home, I decided the camera on my phone would do.


Really, there was nowhere else to go.


Or was there? We just soldiered on anyway.


The Edinburgh Street Naming Committee does not discriminate.


Some more local fauna.

After that it was Apfelstrudel and vanilla ice cream at Christina's flat, and there was much tiredness.
