Scotland is pretty. I needed this…
…and I haven’t even left the Central Belt!
Photo taken from bus pointed at window. Stagecoach interior photographed, but main focus is on what’s outside the window. Shown from front to back, a railing for the side of the motorway, followed by a green fence and plains for a short while. Followed by a forest full of trees in their autumn colours, and a skyline of rolling hills behind. The sky is somewhat cloudy but blue skies can be seen in patches.

This aged well.

So I’m on the Caledonian Sleeper next week. Haven’t quite ticked an item off my bucket list, but I’d say it’s somewhat close.

Bluesky is funny because I can’t recall any other platform where its growth is explicitly tied to the collective hate for one person.
