Oh my, I’ve already been back for over three weeks, and today was my first day out with my camera since I got back! Not good. The concept of time is a bit hard to grasp right now, it feels like I’ve only been back for a couple of days, but at the same time it feels like I never left.

My new courses at Uni are so interesting, I’ve met a lot of amazing people, started a new and healthier life style which include exercise a couple of times a week, and  made a proper budget to stick to for this semester. Also passed my exams for the first semester, which was a huge relieve!

The weather today was so lovely that you’d have to be a fool not to take a walk outside. So i layered up and went out with my camera, exploring all the beautiful places that Edinburgh has to offer. Today’s trip went up Regent Road, and it only took a couple of hundred meters before I found a beautiful old cemetery called Old Calton Cemetery.

It might seem a bit odd for some people that you would choose to go for a lovely afternoon walk in a cemetery, but there are just so many amazing photo opportunities there! The old graves with green moss on top of them,  the details and the colors are just perfect for some nice pictures. I find the peace and quiet so relaxing, and usually imagine how peoples lives where when reading the old graves, what they did for a living, how old they were and if they had kids, wives, husbands. A cemetery reminds me more of the life that was than the actual death.

Also went up Calton Hill. Will post pictures from that later this week. Quite a busy week coming up, so it might be good to “store” some pictures! I’ll promise to keep the posts to a more frequent level than what it’s been the last three weeks!
