A view of the front of the Scottish Parliament

I have mixed feelings about this building. I know that lots of people hate it, and a minority love it. I'm overall not convinced it is the right building in the right place. But you cannot deny that it's not a banal building and cycling past it - even on a grey morning - to go to a meeting, I was motivated to photograph it and blip it.

Busy days - the run up to a period of fieldwork in the former Yugoslavia. Plus point - lots of interesting blipping opportunities. Minus point - feeling stressed about whether I will leave things undone that should be done before I go.
