Getting lost in a place I know well.

Wandering around Edinburgh

The day was bright with just the occasional cloud that would drift by. There were new places I wanted to explore and I had all day.

Coffee sipping on the shore of Leith, looking out over the cobbled streets through the giant doors of the old customs house.

Red letter box, red door and pink curb-side bin.

Back in the hub of Edinburgh it was all hustling tourists venturing far from their homes but not far from their trusted Starbucks mocha creamy coffee.

Moving away from the pulsing city centre to the quiet side streets that every tourist comes to Edinburgh for but rarely find. I wanted simple images, balanced images. Shunning the folk on the streets for the items on the walls.

Edinburgh can seem like a labyrinth when you enter the quiet hidden worlds of the old town’s alleyways, searching for a way out, a place to climb and surface to see a cityscape that is once again familiar.
