On our first day in Edinburgh, we passed by West Bow a couple of times. It's a historic street nestled in the lively Grassmarket area of Edinburgh's Old Town. West Bow itself boasts a row of vibrant, colorful buildings that catch the eye of every passerby. Although I took some straightforward pictures of the street on our first day, none seemed to truly stand out. It wasn't until the second day, upon our return, that I noticed the gleaming hood and roof of a car, reflecting the kaleidoscope of colors from the surrounding buildings, creating a much more captivating composition – West Row, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
