Loch Ness Revisited & The Dancin'

30 December 2008 (Tuesday)

My second time to Loch Ness and Urquart Castle - very beautiful!!! I went there during the ISC weekend trip in autumn...second time in winter...again in spring and summer maybe...then I can make an album of Loch Ness with four seasons! :)


Jen and I on top of the ruined Urquart Castle

Nessie with a bagpipe...!!!


One of my favourite photos...a bit of Provance in France...haha!


Snowing...


Highland Cow - so cute and a bit silly...how CAN it seeee?!



After more than 7-hour coach ride (3.5 hours from Edinburgh city to Loch Ness), we were exhausted...and bored...so we headed to the grassmarket for the dancin' - a FREE dancing event showcasing performances of Scottish Country dance, Highland dance, Ceilidh, Chinese's Lion Dance (haha!), Moulin Rouge-style Can-can dance, Bollywood dance, Tango (Tango is rather disappointing...I was expecting something like the sexy Tango shot in Step Up), Salsa, Cha Cha...etc etc
Official description: "A brand new free event celebrating dance in all its forms, The Dancin' is being programmed in collaboration with Dance Base. It will celebrate dance and joie-de-vivre as well as herald the arrival of the Year of Homecoming Scotland 2009. It also sees the new-look Grassmarket utilised for a major outdoor, public event."


Can-can dance on the big stage (too faraway...)
A very tiring but fulfilling day! :)

Great to see a Grassmarket picture with Can-Can Dancing at night. It must be near to the old Beehive pub.
