Threshold

Leaving this building on Charlotte Square, the brassy brilliance of its threshold* caught my eye. And yet, standing on the other side of it, the light made the metal dull and uninviting.

Looking at it, I couldn't help wondering how many pairs of feet have crossed it in the past 200 years - and reflecting that it's only in relatively recent times that humble tootsies like mine would have been allowed past it at all.

Walking back to the car park by a route I don't normally take, I liked this view of the castle.

Just want to say a HUUUUUUUUGE "thank you" to everyone who commented on yesterday's blip. I was completely bowled over!


* isn't "threshold" a great word, when you think about it?
