Behind The Wall

We are no longer in a good neighborhood.  Beyond the wall, you can see the shanty town.  It goes on and on.  These areas ring and infiltrate every "better" neighborhood.  There are at least three of these areas within a short walk of my house.  The building is illegal, of course, but nothing is enforced.  There are no water services.  Electricity is pirated or from generators.  It's a miserable way to live.

The government built a playground for the area.  You can see it in the bottom photos.  Concrete on concrete with no shade.  No wonder no one is using it.

Chilly Climb

 The weather was cold, but not freezing, in Edinburgh.  And there was no snow, but there was an occasional drizzle.  We managed to stay fairly warm as we wandered about,  These photos are of views in the castle and from the walls as we went up the first wind toward the military history museum.  

I really liked the tree.  It just looked proud but naked.  And we found flowers in December on one of the rocky scarps.

Working On Wings Again

The wings are getting a bit bigger and full.

Little Blue And White Buses

These little buses are road hazards.  They randomly pick up and drop off people all over the city, and they cause more accidents than any other vehicles.  For many people, it's the only mode of transportation that exists.

More Battery Views

These views are not from the parapet, so they've got a different perspective.  He also turned around a bit, too.

One And A Half

Yay, one and a half sides done!  I'm getting close!

About A Third

I now have about a third of the piece to go.  I think it's looking pretty good, but I haven't figured out what to do with it.
