Arthur's Seat in the Mist

 Yesterday, Edinburgh's Arthur's Seat and the surrounding Holyrood Park was shrouded in a very atmospheric mist. Here are some of the photos I took:



Looking over to Salisbury Crags 

and from another angle

Looking down to Duddingston Loch 

Mute Swans on Dunsapie Loch - the one on the right was obviously feeling a little camera-shy

The Jackdaws are paired up already (they have a very strong pair-bond and usually stay with the same partner for their whole life).

The gorse is beautiful 

as is the Grimmia pulvinata moss, all covered in raindrops

Nice to see! We're in the middle of a blizzard.

This reminds me of when I visited Fort William, desperately wanting to see Ben Nevis! Of course, when we arrived, we couldn’t see a thing because of the very thick fog. Mind you, I very much enjoyed my trip around Scotland!

Thanks Jenn, it's snowing here as I type this!

Thanks Sal, that reminds me of going for a walk near the Italian Alps and standing in the mist looking at an information board showing us the names of all the mountains that we would have been able to see if it wasn't foggy. On our way back the fog had lifted.
