Travelling Memories : Edinburgh 2019 (Explored)
While pretty much rooted to home in another lockdown I thought I'd root through my previous holiday photos and post some that haven't seen the light of day on Flickr before.
We had gone to Edinburgh in November 2019 to visit an American friend who was studying in Scotland. Though she was staying in Dumfries she checked into a hostel around the back of Edinburgh castle so she wouldn't have to commute to see us each day were there. After a morning doing the museums and exhibitions we all did an afternoon trip to South Queensferry and the Forth Bridge. The station, Dalmeny, is a little walk from the little fishing town of South Queensfeery (or just 'Queensferry' if you a local) but it was downhill all the way! Vicky and I had been to North Queensferry before but since then I've come to realise the best pictures can be got from the South side. It was November so the winter skies were clear and it was also very, very cold.
This is one of my better shots taken from the foreshore at South Queensferry. I had not long been using my new Canon 750 DSLR and I was trying out various focus settings and options. Looking back at the many, many pictures I took of the bridge that afternoon, this photo is also one of the photos in focus!
