A view of the Pentlands from the south.

Glasgow University

The University Tower from the bridge over the Kelvin.

Harvey Nichols

The Old Novellos

Their first live gig performing at the Voodoo Rooms Speakeasy.

Leith Links

The Links where Duncan Place cuts through.

Quarter Mile

This is a housing development bordering the Meadows on their northern edge.  A redevelopment of the old Royal Infirmary buildings and newbuild stacked glass.  As Neil from the "Young Ones" might have said;   "ooh, bad Karma man".

Easter Road

Not the football ground but the junction of the street and London Road.

George Wyllie's "Stones of Sotland"

This creation in Regent Road Park was to celebrate the opening of the Scottish Parliament.  It has stones from all the Scottish regions and overlooks Holyrood and the new Parliament.

Spire

In the fading evening light, the spire of N Leith Parish from next to the Fort.

Malmaison

Tower Place, Leith. The Malmaison Hotel is the building on the left. http://www.malmaison-edinburgh.com/
A fairly posh place. It's original purpose was as the Sailors Home.  http://www.leithhistory.co.uk/2010/07/12/the-opening-of-the-sailors-home-leith/

The Quilts

The Water of Leith as it passes The Quilts.

Visitor

This little vessel is tied up at Ocean Terminal.  Owners would appear to be a furniture company.  Check this address     http://www.pedley.com/images/PDFs/info_pack.pdf

The Shore

Last Cruise

The weekend saw the last two cruises of the season for the Paddle Steamer Waverley.  More particularly it saw the last cruise for Jim McFazdean as the Chief Purser having served "23 years behind the funnels".

As usual no internet connection hence the late post.  We had a "paddle box of pursers", presentations and farewells at every pier, a suitably large cake, a special Jenny hat for the occasion, (done pursering), and a couple of great days out. Mr Waverley will be a hard act to follow.

Evening Light

Intense light as the sun sank below cloud level this evening very orange.  The building is the one adding colour to the water in the shot of  Tony on Monday.

Botanics

Autumn in the Botanic Gardens.

Bridge

Newhaven road crosses the Water of Leith.

Little German Classic

A nearby garage does a fair bit of business with classic cars so I often see them parked close to our unit

Tony

It's a while since old Tony featured.  This is about 5.30PM with the sun too low to provide any light at Tony's level but the light being reflected in off the old bond building. . Perhaps I should run a book as to when Tony will disappear again.

Another Grey Day

Glasgow this time.  Sorry about the reflection in the windscreen. Is it just me or has anyone else noted the increasingly crazy sequencing of traffic lights.  The rest of the traffic on our bit of road is filtering right.  No other traffic is moving.  Why do we have a long red light?

Grey Day

A horrobly dull grey day.  Down at the supermarket for batteries, going through to the west to "do" a wedding for an old friend.  You can just about make out Arthurs Seat in the background.

Immobile Phones

The phones are in Edinburgh Castle.

Silverknowes Golf Course

Silverknowes Golf course with the Forth and Fife.

Lights

There are quite a few lighting warehouses in the area.  This one displays its wares outside.

Exchange

The local B T depot and exchange.

More Leaves

A sunny day, blue sky and local tree.

Leaves

All change for the winter.

Night

Yes, the same view by the glare of sodium light.

Rainbow

Almost the same spot as yesterday.  After a day of rain we finish with a rainbow, almost a double rainbow.
