Hi there, hope everyone is well and looking forward to a hot summer in oz



Here are some photos of the last 6 weeks or so. I've just returned to the UK from the USA. At the moment I'm only visiting countries starting with U.



This is the recently opened building of the new Scottish parliament.  For a parliament that has limited decision making powers in Scotland it sure is a big building. The next few shots are of Edinburgh (I think i'm spelling this rong).



This is looking out the window of the coffee shop at Edinburgh Castle. I zoomed right in and saw that there was a passenger liner in  port.




 
This pony was on the parade ground of the castle. He was getting ready for his appearance in the Tattoo. He is highly decorated. You can make out some of his medals on his blanket behind the solder. The little dog was in an old lady's handbag. He was about 14 yrs old. The pony wanted to eat him.


Dog searches before the Tattoo. This officer found this dog.

Edinburgh was absolutely packed when I was there. As well as the Tattoo there was the comedy festive a book festival and the fringe. All very exciting. I saw two comedy shows and an art exhibition. I felt quite cultured by the time I left.






Here are a few shots of the Tattoo






The rear end of the pony - he was actually a corporal.
