More winter commuting

Filed under: Biking — Sandy Thomson @ 4:16 pm

I biked to work on Friday, and took some quite nice pictures.

This first picture is probably 500m after Castlelaw fort. Notice the shadows on Turnhouse Hill, and how Glencorse reservoir almost wants to freeze over but doesn’t.

Nice shadows

This picture was taken a bit further up, looking the other way towards IKEA etc.

Looking down towards IKEA

At the top now (Fala Knowe), looking towards western Edinburgh and you might be able to make out the rail bridge in the distance.

Top, with rail bridge in the distance

Heading downwards, great view of Edinburgh and Fife, singletrack further on to the right menacingly snaking its way around the hill, waiting for me.
