Photos from recent trip to Edinburgh, Yorkshire, and London

Hi Everyone!

DH and I got back from our trip to Edinburgh, Yorkshire, and London a few weeks ago. I have finally sifted through my many photos and have posted them on Flickr for your viewing pleasure. Next task is to sit down and write a trip report, but for now, here's the link:

Took a quick look at some of your pics and they're very good ! You have some nice clear shots.
Edinburgh is a wonderful city, isn't it ?

Looking forward to reading your trip report, especially the Yorkshire part.

Bailey,

Thanks so much for posting your pictures - I've only got through your London photos, but your nighttime photos of big ben/parliment are wonderful! Just lovely capturing them right after sunset...not to mention the ones "in motion"! How did you get those pictures?

I also appreciated your photos of the Orangey in Kensington gardens - I've never been able to get there, and it seemed much nicer than I thought. I would like hearing about what you thought of the tea service in your trip report.

Thank you Mathieu. Edinburgh is a very charming city.

And thanks Anna1013 - those shots were taken with a tripod (very important) and slow shutter speed. I'll work at getting a trip report started by early next week.

You have some really lovely, and less common, pictures of Edinburgh, my hometown! Thanks for sharing.

I meant to add, that hill next to Arthur's Seat is called Salisbury Crags. There's an old tongue twister that begins "Round and round the Radical Road the radical rascal ran" that relates to them.

Bailey, great photos. I really enjoyed the ones of the Dales since we plan to travel there next spring. Looks like you had a great trip.

Thank you. I'm glad that you're enjoying the photos. I know exactly what you mean - I always enjoy reliving my trips through other's photos.

Barbara - thank you for the help with Salisbury Crags.

Great pictures! I love your perspective. I've been to most of these places and you did a great job with your pictures. It makes me want to go back to England and Scotland.

Bailey, we loved your photos.
We've only had a chance to view Yorkshire & Edinburgh.
Yorkshire is one of our favorite places on earth, and on viewing and reviewing your photos we feel the need to return yet again to this beautiful area.
Thank you for sharing.

bailey,

Finally got a chance to see your lovely photos of the Yorkshire Dales - absolutely beautiful! So much of the area reminded me of the Lake District. What area did you stay in? I have to agree with you that those views from your cousins house is gorgeous!

Had to laugh at your first picture of your cousins house and the small road next to it - one look at those stone walls gave me an instant flashback to three girls screaming in a car, imagining death either by crashing into the huge stone walls or the crazy locals speeding around the bends.

Can't wait for your trip report!

Nice pix. I'm wondering which towns you visited in Yorkshire? Do I have to wait for the trip report?
