My Commute - A Photo Essay

I thought there was snow yesterday, but today there was more! I came prepared though, and brought my camera along. This added about 15 minutes to my walking time but I'm sure you'll agree it was worth it to get these to share with you all. - n.b. click on the images to view enlargements

I begin by walking up Pilrig Street towards Pilrig St Paul's Church. Then I catch a bus up Leith Walk, where I get off on North Bridge. Here I have a short wait, taking in the vista looking west across to Carlton Hill and the Firth of Forth in the distance. I read my free copy of Metro magazine under the street light while I wait.


My faithful #47 bus then takes me to my work. Because of the snow, the bus route to my work was closed to traffic today, so instead I jump off at the Gowkley Moss Roundabout which is not too far from work. Today, it was totally snowed in.


From there I walk to the Edinburgh Technopole where my office is located, along the most scenic of routes. This time of year, the sun is a little lazy and in no hurry to rise.


Wild berries grow at the roadside, while I continue on towards work.


As I approach work, the lines of trees at the roadside are a photographer's dream.


And finally, here I am. My office is on the top level of the building, on the left.


I hope you enjoyed my commute. You're welcome to come join me anytime!
