Location: Colinton, City of Edinburgh (Scotland, United Kingdom)

Back down to earth with a bump after yesterday's 'Made Explore for the first time in years and got 40+ favourites' excitement. Another day in which the weather was not playing ball. I set out on my bike in the hope that I might catch some snowscapes up in the Pentlands, but it was so cold and wet I never got that far. Stopped in the Colinton Dell tunnel to take a few pics in the dry. This one feels faintly spooky to me - something about the runner heading down the tunnel		Cycleway:
