Of all the places I go, Scotland is one of my favourites. This time there was a lot of rain, sleet and wind, and I didn't see much except the inside of my office during daylight hours, but the Scottish accents kept me warm.
And in the evenings... I became a bit obsessed by how everything blurred, glowed and glistened in the wet dark.
Like being inside an abstract painting.

Gorgeous photos of the wet city Kendalee! You are oh so lucky to travel for work. I get to go on the high way and back.Travel safely!
Surreal, Lass- As close as i got to Scotland was eating a scottish egg , and drinking scotch...Oh and a Scottish boy I loved who worked in the orchard...
These lovely photos take me there- all lustery and ungrounded- like love.
Love the photos, so evocative! Scottish accents are my favorite in the whole world...
i love this stroll....
how are you? i hope well...
Such lovely photographs, kendalee! Blurs are great - more indicative of how I usually feel than sharp, bright pictures under a midday sun ...
Oh, I love the Scottish accent, absolutely adore it! Love these photos, too, there is something about rain, darkness and light that you have captured well here. K xo
Stunning pics, Kendalee !
i so love this blurry touch...
lucky you for going to Scotland !
:-)
(getting busy for Christmas?)
I love these photos. Hope you are having a great weekend, i must start christmas shopping soon or i'm going to miss it! :)
MK-truly lucky.I often don't see much of the places I go to apart from the airports, stations and offices there but still, sometimes I do, and I love that!
Linda Sue - all lustery and ungrounded - like love. I love this image! I remember feeling like that too...
Laura - mine too - without rival!
Nadia - glad you enjoyed it! I'm okay - still holding on, still not sleeping well, but looking forward to some breathing space and rest over Christmas, which will restore the balance I hope. thank you for asking :)
Anairam - I like the idea of living in blur too. It sits better with me than living with harsh, sharp edges, or in a grey space between dark and light. Blur just seems a more beautiful place to be.
Kerstin - what is it about a Scottish accent I wonder? I had a wonderful great uncle who was Scottish and I loved his accent even as a small child. Regardless of regional variations, it is my favourite, favourite accent still. I always wanted to fall in love with a Scot.
mcis - Lala, not too busy :) Am hoping more to keep it simple and wind down a bit over Christmas... Just the nice bits with none of the stress is what I'm aiming for.
Alex - I know the feeling! I've had a rather lazy weekend so far... Although there are things that need doing, I can't seem to move. Hope your shopping goes well! :
