Love of Lights

Haven't posted a roaming session on here in a long while, even though I've done, I think, one since the last one I posted on here. But seeing as I have ~3 more days left in Edinburgh for a year (save perhaps a week for Fringe in August), I thought I should roam and post it on this here photodiary/memory-space. Although my itinerant nature has me itching to discover a new place, I have to admit, Edinburgh is very cool. Just look at the variety of land- and cityscapes you encounter on a few hours' walk.

I was too diffident to ask any of my new friends to do anything with me when my birthday came around this year, so instead I did a bit of roaming. Here's the product of that. (Hopefully I won't be so diffident with, or I'll be more comfortable with, my uni friends next year). This is the port of Leith. I walked all the way to Leith from the centre.

Today was my last afternoon in Edinburgh for the year 2012. The next time I return it will be 2013 and I will be ready to do things differently. I'm not entirely sure how things will pan out, but with my new equilibrium schedule as a basis, I hope to see a brighter future for myself, in terms of me doing the things I want to do and not falling to apathy, ambition-lack, and self-pity. I took the afternoon to take a stroll about some parts of the city, have some lunch at a café (while reading the very entertaining essay E Unibus Pluram by DFW). It was all spent alone, but I was content. At some point I almost feared that one can live a content life mostly alone (not completely, mind you -- simply mostly). What a dissonant image to my friend- and love-centred mind. Anyway, I took a few pictures, which marks a return of the Roaming Sessions, ed. 6.
