Haar




Today we experienced something that Scotts call 'haar' (you should have heard Venessa pronouncing the word!) - it is a sea mist that obscures the town (and it's castle) almost completely and makes you feel like what Monika Zeromska described in her diary from a visit to Britain as standing in a stream wearing  wet underpants.

We went to do some shopping in organic shop in the other end of town center so we had to cross Princes Street Gardens. With haar obscurring all the sounds from the nearby tram works and gently setting on our faces it was a mesmerising experience. Being photographers of course we left the cameras at home so we had to use our phones instead.
