the edinburgh skyline from the royal museum roof.

there were a lot of chimneys in edinburgh.

edinburgh castle

a night shot (no tripod, just a dumpster to prop the camera on!)

there were gryphons in edinburgh too!

there was also lots of wind -- this was taken on the battlements of the castle. i felt like if i leaned out far enough i could just take off over the valley...

things from the royal museum and the museum of scotland:



an old drinking horn -- you drink from the top of the skull.

taken from the roofdeck:
me, with st. giles' cathedral through the wall.

a building that looks a little like kresge auditorium.

obigatory bagpiper. (he was actually quite good.)
***newsflash -- just got email from "glyn morris, bagpipers of distinction" saying that he'd come across my page, and he was the one in the picture. i love the web. so now i have a url to put here: http://www.scottishbagpipers.com/.

a plasma sculpture in the museum under the camera obscura.

glass hammers. terribly useful. (from the museumof modern art.)

i thought i went on vacation to get AWAY from gels??
(also from the museum of modern art.)

i hadn't thought sweeney was from edinburgh... or that he'd advertise so well...

back to prague.
