More Snow

The inappropriately named Summerside Street.

Snow on the Beach

Portobello.  Strange light as the clouds roll in and the sun goes down.

Winter

It has been about twenty years since we have had as much snow so early on in the winter.  At least the Ski folks will be happy.  Forecast to be cold for another 10 days.

North Leith parish Church from Ocean Drive.

Leith Harbour

Having offloaded her cargo, a bulk freighter is guided to the sea-lock by tugs.

Coburg Street

More modern flats opposite the old graveyard.

Shore Block

This block of flats with,(largely unoccupied), offices at ground level sits by Coalhill on the Shore in Leith. I always feel it looks rather lost.

Dusk

This event is getting earlier and earlier.  Also forecast to get considerably colder.

Old Kirk Corstorphine

The interior of the Old Kirk

Merchant Navy Memorial

The Memorial was unveiled on Tuesday by the Princess Royal and the wreath laying ceremony took place today after the annual Seafarers service at South Leith Parish Church.

Portland Terrace

A dull day in Leith.

Leith Links.

The Links with some of the trees nearly bare now.  The mound is one of Cromwell's raised platforms for artillery from the seige of Leith.  The spire in the background is Leith St Andrews at the bottom of Easter Road.

Charlotte Square Gardens

Corstorphine Tower

Dundas Street

Looking down Dundas Street with the Forth and Fife in the background.

The North Bridge, below is Waverley Station, running in to Waterloo Place and Register House.  On the left the Balmoral Hotel, the old North British as was. To the right the old Post Office building with the shadow of the old Scotsman building falling on it.

Remembrance Sunday

The BB contingent leaving the South Leith Service.

Newhaven

Late afternoon sunshine on the developments by the harbour and a bit of a rainbow over in Fife.

Portobello High Street

Snatched shot while sitting at the lights. The "baronial" style building is the Police station.

New Prison

Looking down Cranston Street while stuck in a traffic queue at the St Mary St and Royal Mile junction. What is left of the "New Prison" and the memorial in the Calton Burial Ground and a glimpse of  Waverley Station.

Edinburgh University

Buildings in Buccleuch Street, the old and the new.

Multitasking

Artist Emily Little managing to phone and saw at the same time.  Now if I tried that I would probably Shone and paw.

Tony Again

Been up in Ullapool since Friday hence no posts.  Weather has turned decidedly wintry with high winds.  Snow ploughs on the A9 and the Braemar road closed.  The Water of Leith is rising and the local Tony is gathering Autumn.

Regent Terrace

Autumn without the trees.

Ocean Terminal

The central glass section of the shopping mall.

Bank of Scotland, the Mound

Snapped while stopped at the traffic lights at the junction of George IV Bridge and the High Street.

The Clock Has Changed

The clocks changed back to GMT at the weekend.  I hadn't taken a shot for today and stuck my head out the door at 5 PM.  Apart from the rain it was, of course, dark.
