I thought it would be fun to capture what was shared for the first month of this year….in less than half a minute! Checkout the video below:
We covered a lot of ground.
What do you think?

I was going through my pics from my recent walk on the Union Canal and found these two!
I think they look quite magical. The boat looked so inviting!
The reflection of the railings just captured my attention.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, all the holiday dressings have been removed from Edinburgh city centre with one exception: Festival Village.
So with the lights and the slight mist, it looks somewhat dramatic. A little surreal.
Well, I had to take a couple of pics. What do you think?

Leith Walk is said to be the longest street in Edinburgh, connecting Leith with the city centre. I must admit this sometimes confuses me as the road from North Bridge to Newington and beyond is quite long too. Regardless, Leith Walk (The Walk) is a long street with a wonderful diverse offering of shops, cafés, bars, restaurants and more! It really is quite vibrant.
I’ve been meaning to post more about The Walk however it is currently under heavy construction with the tramlines. So, it is hard to take a good photo but I was asked recently to post a pic or two. I am happy to oblige. As a result, I went through my old pics and took a few new ones.
Above is Leith Walk at Pilrig before the tramline construction started. The official Leith border!
Above is a comparison of Picardy to Leith Walk at two different dates. Picardy is at the Top of Leith Walk.
Below is a gallery of various sections of The Walk.
Leith Walk has something for everyone. When the tramline construction is completed, it will be even more amazing.

The trip to Colinton tunnel in Edinburgh has been on my list for sometime. I have been to Colinton many times but never to the tunnel. There have been many write ups about it and so it was a must see for me!
The media coverage about the tunnel did not exaggerate. The photos are a result of my happy fingers as I strolled the tunnel. I perhaps went overboard with all the pics I took but come on! How could I not?
It is an amazing mural. It is evident that a lot of work and creativity went into this piece of art. I have since learned that the artist that led the creative team was Chris Rutterford. I’m so glad I finally made the trip

The controversial hotel at Edinburgh’s St James Centre! You either love it or hate it. Regardless, it is fast becoming an iconic building and landmark as part of Edinburgh city’s skyline.
As I walked a shortcut that took me across the square, I was struck by the building at night. I had not seen it all lit up at night before- or perhaps I had not noticed it.
It is quite striking and futuristic.
