Bagpipers on St. Andrews Day

St. Andrew’s celebrations have come and gone, but not without a mad bagpiper frenzy. Different clans gathered in Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, starting near the church and ending in the Castle’s esplanade where they all played Scotland’s national anthem and then departed. A joyful moment indeed.

Morning

This is the view that I get each morning while waiting for the bus. It looks a bit better in real life but my camera lacks depth-of-field. It’s rather relaxing to see the sun come up with such beautiful colours.

Seagulls in the City

OK, this was something that totally freaked me out, somewhat. Seagulls in the middle of the city, they seemed really lost. They were weaving in and out, hovering just above cars, touching the ground and flying off just as another car approached, circling aimlessly, merely avoiding being splattered.

I have no clue if this tends to happen, so can anyone in a coastal city tell me if it is normal for seagulls to get lost and mess about amidst traffic?
