Look at the unicorns! Actually Scotland’s national animal, no joke.

As part of my “go out and take pictures once a week”-plan, this Saturday was spent walking around in Edinburgh in the sunny (but windy!) weather. Met a woman I’ve been hoping to meet since I moved here, Elaine Davidson, and got a few photos with her! She was really nice, and so cheerful. So happy to finally have seen her in real life!
Wandered around for a bit before ending up visiting Edinburgh Castle. One thing I love about this city is how there’s treasures everywhere! Beautiful churches on almost every corner, old buildings with the most amazing details, and so many historical places to visit. Also found out that Scotland’s national animal is a unicorn, which is just hilarious! Wish Norway had something more exciting than an elk…like…Spongebob Squarepants or something! That would have been so cool ~dream~.
Got a new phone now, Samsung galaxy SIII, so some of the photos were taken with the phone camera, since the lighting inside many of the buildings at the castle was rather dark, making it impossible for my Nikon lens to get enough light. Don’t think they turned out to bad either.
My days consist of staying at the library reading for my exams, going home late and then going to bed. All my flat mates are at home, so it’s soooo quiet here. Miss having someone to tell me to do the dishes, haha. It’s gonna be so nice to have them back at the end of the week, the flat feels so incomplete without them.
Oh! Also got my old Nikon D50 now, which my flat mate Ellie will be borrowing, so now I’ll get a photo buddy! Yay! Hopefully that will mean more photos and more activity on the blog.

Been spending my days at the library, so not much photos so far this week! But I’m planning a little adventure this weekend, hopefully the weather will be splendid! Got a new lens for my camera as well, so planning to give it a test run 😀

The last photos from our trip to Dublin!
Even though it was freezing and not the best weather, it was still a really nice trip! I would probably recommend people that want to travel to Dublin to do so in the summer months, especially if you are like me and would like to photograph your visit. Oh, and be careful when dancing in the pubs/clubs so you don’t twist your foot and have to walk around with a black/purple foot for the rest of your stay.
Can definitely recommend The Abigail’s Hostel for people who want a cheap but nice place to stay! It was really close to all the pubs, and nice and clean.
This was such a nice trip, hoping to travel a lot more that I’ve done this semester. It’s good for body and mind to get away from “home” once in a while and get some new, fresh inputs.
