Wednesday walk time again. I actually managed 3 walks today - on my lunchbreak, on my way home and then in the evening (and only took pics on the last one).
My wife and I went out for a walk to get some exercise in just after dinner, and it started to rain just as we left the house, and it continued to pour the whole way round ! The trees above came out quite nice against the night sky !
I like how the graffiti under this bridge was showing up quite nicely with the light shining on it.
We passed by Roseburn which is being completely remodelled - they have been doing this for well over a year, and hopefully its going to finish soon because its playing murder with the traffic !
At Roseburn we also passed this old police box above. These used to be stationed all over the city, and in the olden days its where a policeman/woman could go to make a phone call, have a break, etc. Although no longer used by the police there are still many of them left, and some have been turned into coffee shacks and the like - quite cool.
A little further along from Roseburn, we passed Murrayfield which is the national rugby stadium for Scotland. They are playing Wales at home on saturday, so it was all lit up as they must be getting the stadium ready. It should be a really good match this Saturday, and its the grudge match in our house because I'm Scottish and my wife is Welsh !
The pic above aint great, but its in the grounds of one of the pubs further along the road, The Murrayfield, which gets mega busy on game days. So much so that they have put up this extra marquee in the front garden with a bar inside it. They also had another one around the back. I would shudder to think how many pints of beer will be poured here on saturday - it'll be thousands.
I also tried to take a pic of the pub but got the result above instead - however I like it !!!
Above is a view of the busy junction further along the road where we turned to head back up the hill towards the house.
And then the last pic of the evening was of the school fields near us which were lit up for the kids who were playing hockey. The lighting was flooding the camera lens so you cant make anything out - but trust me, there was a few teams there playing in the rain !
Well thats my wednesday walk for this evening - I was glad to get out and get a few steps in before settling down for the evening - and I didnt even mind the rain (when you are born in Scotland you learn to ignore it !).
All the best - hope you all had a great wednesday !
