Two trips this past week: One to Edinburgh and one to the continent. Great trips, both of them. These are my favourite pics from the holiday:

Weekly Highlights (14/03/2010)

So this week was a fantastic one! Lots of stuff going on… But most of the stuff took place between Saturday and Sunday. I took a tour around Glasgow for the sake of it. The first day I caught a glimpse of the protest pictured above. A march for refugees… I don’t know the complete story behind it so there is no point in me speculating about it.

Along the tour I took a few pictures of the SECC in Glasgow. Remarkably similar to the opera house in Australia. Some people along the tour said it looks like a squashed version of it.

The last stop was the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Wonderful time I had here, lots of stuff to see, lots of stuff to do. Everything from Egyptian expositions, Scottish art, lots of stuffed animals, and plenty of things to look at. One good point to mention was the organ player at the entrance. Quite a crowd had gathered at the cafe below to watch him:

So in general I would say it was a successful week. If only every week was as entertaining. How was your week?

Weekly Highlights (25/01/2010)

So this week I went on a visit to two different places. I went to Cumbernauld (again) on Friday and I went to Inshinnan (West Glasgow) a day ago. I didn’t really take a lot of pictures throughout the week so I didn’t have much to share. The photo above is just outside the Central Station in Glasgow City Centre. I took this on the way back from Inshinnan on bus service 23 of the “Arriva” route.

I found this building on Hope St. in central Glasgow, the same day as the previous photo was taken. I loved how the place looks, it really looks somewhat like a haunted mansion from an old low-budget Hollywood film.

This week I took a trip to Inverness, so I have a few photos to share with you. There was snow, and there was more snow, and there was a few snow storms, there was a lack of stores open, there were no buses circulating, there was a nuthead, and another nuthead, but on the good side of things there was an excellent restaurant (next to Ness River on the East side), there was lots to photograph, and there was good fun. Enjoy!

This photo was taken from a bridge next to Ness Walk, just north from Ness Islands. I didn’t have a chance to go to Ness Islands, the snow was difficult to walk through, but the view from the bridge was good enough.

A snowman just outside a random B&B near Bught Park. I thought it was quite ingenious the way it was designed, don’t you think? I love the broomstick!

Oh, the cemetery next to Glenurquhart Road. Massive, bloody massive! Beautiful view, specially with all the snow. Sometimes everything looked like the scenery of the “Snow Operation” in the game “Project Reality“. Gosh, saying that almost makes me sounds like a geek.

The Edinburgh Fringe

So the Edinburgh Fringe has been on for at least a week now. I’ve been to a few “free comedy” shows, and today I decided to pay a visit to High Street (AKA The Royal Mile). There is a lot of activity going on (as you can see through the images), so if you are bored and you just happen to be in Scotland, why not pay the Fringe a visit?
