A wander around Edinburgh on the last weekend of the 2022 festival and nine days into the refuse workers strike, sad to see the city so utterly grubby but certainly a very visual reminder of the importance of the work they do. I smiled to see Greyfriars Bobby had a small snack as well as a large selection of sticks and I stopped to look at the Witches Well at the base of the castle esplanade. The fountain (now dry) was sculpted in 1894 by John Duncan, evocative and rich in symbolism, it epitomises the decorative Art Nouveau style of the time. The fountain shows that the perception of good and evil is often in the eye of the beholder and that can be very dangerous indeed. We may also have spotted a few more giraffes...

The refuse is a sad thing. However that looks like an amazing place.
