It's been pretty horrible weather for day after day over the Christmas period so I'm signing off 2011 with a night shot of Edinburgh taken back in November from a bus stop on the North Bridge on a drizzly cold evening. As the city hosts the biggest Hogmanay party of the lot I thought it appropriate. The shot is not a great one - hand-held and taken on the fly - but well.............

2011 has been a pretty dreadful year. Here's to 2012 and the hope that its a big improvement.

Happy New Year.

Dawn breaks over the North Levels in Somerset.

It's high tide at Huckers Bow down below me and to the left. I walked up on to Middle Hope this morning in the hope of seeing a decent sunrise. The sky glowed for a few minutes then the colours ebbed away like the tide.

Still it was a nice walk first thing.

Happy Christmas to everyone.

I hope you have a very Happy Christmas.

The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh

I first visited this place when I was a kid. Its glass cabinets and dusty exhibits were at once intruiging and off-putting. It was subjected to a makeover a few years ago and now has to be one of the nicest museums I've visited in many years.
