When posing for travel photos, we automatically put on a practiced smile and rest our hands on our hips like celebrities or around the belly of our mate. Soon the pictures look all the same; just drop in a different background. In Edinburgh, we changed it up a bit.

| Scottish Parliament Building |
See what we did there? Not really? Look at this one.
 |
| Arthur's Seat |
This next one is my favorite...
 |
| National Monument |
After taking the above photo, the image instantly reminded me of Rene Magritte's paintings of floating men. The men, dressed in standard clothing, stand in a placid posture as if waiting for a bus. They are placed within a mundane background. The normality of it all almost overrides the ridiculous fact that they are floating in mid air.
Here we tried it from a different angle.

| Stirling Castle |
Stairway to Heaven?

| Stirling Castle Chapel |
Mike has been a trooper during these photo shoots. We'll be setting up a fund for new knees and ankles when we come home. Stay tuned for "Floating Through London."
