Back in Edinburgh for a day I really wanted to revisit the new Parliamnet House building and see if I could photograph the wall again with the idea of creating more embossing plates and maybe another or larger work.
Luckily it was as gorgeous as I remembered, and I got lots more food for thought.
Being in this beautiful city of books and writers and words, we also visited the National Libray where they had on display some of the magical book sculptures that appeared around Edinburgh a few years ago...
And across the road at the Central Libray we found some of the original mystery book sculptures on display - such a delight to actually see them for ourselves after following the stories on line.
Hopefully there will be time to visit the National Poetry Libray and the Scottish Storytelling Centre too!
Edinburgh echoes, I love this city of literature.
you saw some of them!!! awesome, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI did V and there was quite the little yippee! As I did!
DeleteOh yay! I'm so glad you made it to Edinburgh and got to see some of the mysterious book sculptures! Aren't they amazing? There are more at the Poetry Library, you know. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBack now for our third stop this trip J - we have used it as a base as we landed, headed off and headed off again. It is beyond special to see the sculptures and we made it to the Poetry Library today no saw more! Such a delight, I love Edinburgh so. Shale send it your very best wishes!
DeleteWhat exquisite sculptures! We intend to visit Edinburgh on one of our visits north this year. You have given me even more reasons to stop off there on the way to Aberdeenshire.
ReplyDeleteOh yes Margaret, Edinburgh has so much magic and many wonderful places to visit and sculptures to see...enjoy!
