Edinburgh Fog

This is so unfair to do to Edinburgh because this past week we’ve had glorious weather: birds are singing, the sun is shining (and warm!), daffodils are nodding their heads, and the wind has abated. But instead of showing you what the vibrancy of spring can look like in such a stoney northern climate, I’m giving you fog. Last night was just so eerily beautiful though, I have to show you. I mean, you all know what sunny fields of flowers look like, but what about a historic town shrouded in mist? I would hate a city that was continuously foggy, but Edinburgh (bless her) is discriminating and varied when it comes to climate. Just when you think you can’t take any more wind, she gives you a glorious day of blue skies — and vice versa, of course.

See for your selves and let me know what you think about Edinburgh’s muted and and mysterious fog attire:

Fantastically spooky, isn’t it?

Dear Cath,

I don’t remember it ever being this foggy when we lived here. You always hear about London’s pea soup, but Edinburgh’s winds must keep the fog from the rolling off the ocean and just staying put. That last photo is walking across the meadows — doesn’t it look like a back drop for a Jeff Wall light box?

I miss you so much! Why aren’t you on skype right this moment?! 😉

xoxoxox,

  1. This looks awesome. You should curl up with a nice, creepy classic. Like “Wuthering Heights” or “Northanger Abbey” if you want to keep it a bit light.

  2. Sooooo cool! I love when fog makes everything look so magical. It somehow makes Edinburgh feel even more historic and mysterious. I wish i could have seen it in person. I hate that we couldn’t skype this weekend. Maybe we can figure out a mid-week skype?
    xoxo, cath

  3. This makes me shudder. I know we’re not in London but the scenes are positively Dickensian. Make sure you get lots of Vitamin D because with fog like that I’ll doubt you’ll get it from sunlight 🙂

  4. VERY fantastically spooky! I bet the fog has time teleportation abilities as well. I’d feel like I was living in the 19th century. Don’t quite know why that particular century, but yeah.

  5. So gorgeous and I had been meaning to ask you ladies – would you ever consider selling any of your prints of your travels? The light in the fourth picture down is amazing.

  6. Woah, that last shot is straight out of a Sherlock Holmes movie! You’d better look out for nefarious gentlemen with waxed mustaches and ornate walking sticks! 😉

  7. oh so home sick right now (and I’m a Glaswegian not a Edinburgher).

    Though that is a super creepy fog.
