If I Had My Camera...

Joe's been doing some traveling lately for conferences. First to Leuven, in Belgium, for 5 days and now to Montreal for a quick 4 day trip. Both trips were/are for the purpose of attending a theology conference and for presenting papers at each. I'll have him do a couple of posts about the conferences when he is back in the swing of things and he can also post a few pictures of the great cities he's been visiting (I'm a little jealous!). But, while he's been gone, he's had the camera, making it a bit more difficult for me to post pictures of life here in Edinburgh. If I did have the camera, here are some things you would have seen:

• The beautiful sunrise that we saw walking to the bus stop this morning (which, by the way, was at 7:30am).

• The gorgeous sunset I saw yesterday while walking in the city (which, by the way, was at 4:30pm).

• The very picturesque path a friend and I walked yesterday along the Waters of Leith.

• The scores of random fireworks being set off yesterday, in celebration of Guy Fawkes day.

• The building on one of the main thoroughfares that put up very lovely, festive Christmas decorations. Two weeks ago. (that was before Halloween, folks).

• The three different accordion players I passed today, at three different intersections.
  

• A woman riding a giant three wheeled bike, wearing a helmet, going slower than we were walking, while "walking" her itty-bitty dog. Maybe you had to be there.

• These really funny, and talented, drummers who were performing on the museum terrace earlier in the week.

• A picture of me, happily dancing, after receiving the news that I finally get to start working on Monday (as in 9 November).
