This evening’s uploads to my Flickr photo stream saw the Woolamaloo Flickr pass the 24, 000 images mark. Since I first purchased a Pro Flickr account back in 2007 I have uploaded 24, 000 photos and videos to my Flickr, and it has taken some 33.7 million views of those images across those years, which to be honest is pretty damned amazing. Quite a milestone – to mark it I thought I would pick out some photos from 2022 so far:
People watching in Princes Street Gardens, folks enjoying a bright, spring day
Water pouring over a lock gate on the Forth and Clyde Canal
Sudden burst of warm, spring weather, of course some men will cook up a huge cloud of very stinky BBQ smoke to ensure everyone within a hundred yards is enveloped by it! It’s like an inexorable law of nice weather here…
Evening light creating some lovely reflections of the old rowboats on the Union Canal at Harrison Park and the surrounding area:
Barefooting it at Porty Beach
Came back from getting myself another pint to find the book I was reading had fanned itself out like this and was being illuminated by a burst of spring light coming in the pub window, of course I had to take a pic.
Juggling a tote bag on Princes Street
The annual spring miracle as the cherry blossoms beging to bloom again
The Falkirk tunnel for the Forth and Clyde Canal, finished in 1822, running some 630 metres. In an interesting historical aside, two of the navigators – navvies – who excavated this were Irishmen, Burke and Hare – yes, the later, infamous Resurrection Men and Bodysnatchers of Edinburgh’s Old Town…
Krow on stage at the welcome return of the Shoreline of Infinity journal’s Event Horizon evenings in the Pleasance Cabaret Bar; as it was March, the month that includes International Women’s Day, the line up of musicians, performers, poets and writers was entirely female.
Peaceful afternoon drink and read in Cloisters pub
Nothing quite like a good cuppa! Street photo of chap enjoying a cuppa in a cafe on the Grassmarket
Smiling seaside selfie by the sea shore (how’s that for alliteration?)
Daffies!!!!
Holy Corner at night; improvised night shot, just after work so I didn’t have the tripod, made do with sitting camera on timer mode on top of the button box for the pedestrian crossing to steady it.
First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, chairing a talk with the Scottish Makar, Kathleen Jamie, as the Paisley Book Festival in February, and bestselling Scottish author Denise Mina being interviewed at the festival.
Dreich night! Pouring rain on a cold, dark, winter night by the Royal Scottish Academy
