East Lothian Sunset

Sun going down behind Edinburgh, Arthur's seat to the left and Cockenzie Power Station on the right.

Edinburgh from West Lomond

From a very windy hilltop in Fife, light on the Forth and the dark shapes of Arthur's Seat and the Salibury Crags.

Water of Leith

No flood defences here, just after the weir at the Quilts, as the river bends towards the bridge at Great Junction Street.

Calton Hill

Wrapped up to admire the view.

Corstorphine Hill

This is the path at the top of the hill that skirts the upper limit of the Zoo.  You can see the fence on the right.

New Works

In the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Tony, Stockbridge

The waters have abated but Tony is still festooned with debris from the last high water.  The Bonnington Gormley is still face down and under the surface and will probably be like that all winter.

More flood works on the Water of Leith, including a temporary bridge to get the heavy plant to where it is needed.

Craiglockhart

Looking north towards Corstorphine.  Spot the prison.

Opening

Simon Nicholas White photo show and subsequent party.  Low light and camera on phone at the Village.

The Castle

From the Esplanade early morning.

Corstorphine Hill

Looking towards the Pentland Hills.

Tree Trunk

Sunshine instead of rain today but very cold.  Last rays of the sun in Victoria Park.

Puddle

Raining heavily and the car park drains can't cope.  You can tell winter's coming, the rain is getting colder.

Princes Street

Closed for business, well transport anyway. Dug up again without a single tram ever using the rails.

Scottish Weather

Not a nice day and worse at night.

Fettes College

Edinburgh Castle

A view from the Vennel showing the Half Moon Battery, (the round section on the right).

St Andrew Place, Leith

Asda

The carpark.

Autumn Shadows

Late afternoon in the Botanics.

Autumn Bonnet

Hood,  if you are on the other side of the pond.

Forth Bridge

Returning from Fife.  The bridge again down to one lane in each direction. In qeque for over an hour.

Leaves

In Edinburgh Botanics.

Morningside

From Wester Craiglockhart Hill to Blackford Hill.

Corstorphine Hill

Corstorphine Wood.

Murrayfield Golf Course

And Edinburgh.

Leith Links

Stockbridge Market

This little market runs every Sunday in the little square by the bridge over the Water of Leith.  The chap sitting on the step is sketching.

Swimmer

The local sports injury clinic goes in for amusing window displays with their skeleton.  I took this last week and am posting it as the heatwave has given way to serious rain and excessive gloominess.
