2009 Bank of Scotland Fireworks Concert

去年也放過這個事情的紀錄:包括白天的彩排和晚上的video
這次前面奉上monlai 拍的照片,如果想看我拍的小video 就請耐心捲動頁面到後面嘍!

今年是第一次出門看煙火、果真不同視角也是很不錯的!
我們中午還先去勘景、確定一下哪幾個地方是我們可以選的,結果傍晚一到我們的首選就發現:我們還是有點晚阿!最好的位置已經架了三個腳架了。我就趕快卡在剩下稍微不好一點的位子不敢亂跑,還好還有這個位置,不然就傷心了!

North Berwick 的 Highland Games 2009

剛好在這天去了 North Berwick
海邊的人少得可憐、船東說因為人都去看(參加)Highland Games 了!
在我們要離開去搭火車之前看到大家夾道地等待著
Y-C 就問了路人、才知道他們在等著 Highland Games 結束之後的小遊行
我們等了一下子、在要離開的時候忽然聽到風笛的聲音
所以又回頭看到這段遊行 (就是list of events 的最後一項:Parade of Bands Through the Town)

每個隊伍走道教堂前面的小校閱台都會停下來、改變隊形、為成一圈定點表演

我自己邊的故事是:爸爸跟女兒一起演出~ ;)

這個阿伯就是我腦中典型的風笛蘇格蘭阿伯阿!

家裡住在主要街道的好處就是不用出門就可以看遊行啦!

2009 Edinburgh Military Tatoo preview

今年我們兩個又去買了preview 的票、看了半價又有很多記者穿梭的preview
雖說是Military Tatoo 60週年、又是Homcoming Scotland的系列活動之一,可是大概是因為看到第三年、有些事情沒了驚喜,所以一直沒有第一年看完那種興奮的感覺。
不過瑞士的兩個團體還是讓我很喜歡的 :)

開始之前大家還在入座中
