And a draconic shape blocking the stars... #httyd

And shrek

Nah, four penguins.

You mean at the bottom right of the reflection... inside the crescent

Not missing that at all. Why would animal cruelty preformed by a kid make this perfect picture any better?

Thanks! Wish they'd include that in the post

Hurrah! My place of birth :-)

Also known as snake bridges.

Yes absolutely

Every day sistah!! I also spill coffee 5 days or more per week.

I absolutely love Edinburgh and Brighton.

why did I read this to the tune of "We built this city"?

I'll head over there for you (I live in brighton)

So do I, and I haven't even been there!

They are amazing people! And Architect's obviously as well. I just Love this too!!❤️

Hah hah, because it generally is. Scotland is an incredibly beautiful country and Edinburgh is such an amazing city with a lot of wonderful things to do from museums and great restaurants to attending a theatre performance and hiking Arthur's Seat. If you can ever make it during the holidays, Edinburgh's Hogmanay (New Year's) is a must see. There's fireworks, theatre performances, cheilidh dancing (traditional Scottish group dancing), torch parades, and the ocassional burning of a model Viking ship. Lots and lots of fire...have I mentioned fire?

Not without the trees...

To anyone complaining about the trees. European cities historically used Lindens to decorate the roads. In the last century, several waves of parasites epidemics hit the European linden populations, and many more were cut and damaged during the wars. After WW2, cities chose to plant different trees -such as poplars, horse chestnuts and willows- because they grew faster. Unfortunately, those trees grow fast but they are prone to illnesses and with age they reach a point where they are not sturdy enough to resist heavy wind and rain. Those trees are supposed to be cut and replanted every 40-50 years, for safety. The growing plants are much better in ecological terms, absorbing far more CO2 than a grown plant. This pre-planned replacement is always met with opposition: it is so hard to communicate this to the people, especially when there is always some group who oppose for their own reasons (political opponents to who took the decision, misinformed environmental groups, etc)

Much happier!

Baga is that you?

They're not chopped down, just shortened

Royalty do take (vacation)architecture to the next level... British royalty, for example, have a number of castles and grand homes at their disposal.

it looks to me like that "hear no evil" monkey 🙉 too. Extra points!

but you'll be lonely.... so you're between a rock and hard place

Normally I don't mind having neighbours, but right now the people over the back fence from me are renovating and the endless drilling and sawing noises have gotten so obnoxious and persistent (and are coming right through my bedroom window) that they've started invading my dreams. ARGH.

Same 😂😅

EXACTLY!!!

And if there are some neighbors I bet they feel the same and that, my friends, is indeed heaven.
