Newhaven

Late evening light on the old harbour from the breakwater.

Paralympics

The sign on the Mound has been replaced.

Art Bus

The Festival proper doesn't end till Sunday and the shows in the Galleries will go on till October. This bus is running between the galleries and advertising the show at the Modern Art Gallery.

Fringe Finishes

This is the end of the Fringe.  Perhaps Andy here will be glad to get a rest on his feet.  The official Festival goes on till Sept 2nd so maybe not. At least his props aren't expensive.

Box Office

Presumably if the show isn't so great or you don't get publicity, this is where you end up.

Volunteer

The performer has already selected the unwitting volunteer who now gets to wear a little fez. I didn't wait to see his fate.

Art?

Why did they bother.

The "Festival" Mound

Craft and art tents plus non stop performances at the Mound.

Levitation

Hanging about on the High Street.

Speigeltent

An extra one this year in George Street.  AS if the current traffic chaos wasn't bad enough.

Nationalism and the Power of Oratory

A Book Festival event with journalist, author and political commentator David Torrance.  Lively event with an intelligent audience and good speaker.   See  http://davidtorrance.com/

Under the North Bridge

Looking toward the Scott Monument over Waverley Station and the inevitable rubbish bins.

Sunshine at the Book Festival

Panel

The panel at the George Wyllie event at the Scottish Parliament as part of the Festival of Politics with the emphasis on art and culture.

Sign of the Times

Well the sign has arrived on Princes Street but there is no sign of a tram.

Street Stage

The High Street is closed off for the Festival and there are several small stages where performers can "display their wares".

Fringe Supplies

The Fringe performers need to keep up their spirits.

Adverts

The Fringe is now in full swing. These temporary pillars allow the performers to post their adverts but don't do a lot to stop fly posting.

Signing

Carol Craig having a bit crack at the signing after her morning session.

Edinburgh International Book Festival

The Book Festival opens today and the sun still shines. Deck chairs courtesy of the Guardian.

Bowling Green

The two bowling greens in Victoria Park and sunshine but no bowlers.

Putting

Morning Shadows

Railings and a bike, Graham Street. Another Summer day.

Summerside Chimney

Evening light at the end of a genuine Summer day.

White Horse Close

Not the usual view but looking back towards the entrance from the Royal Mile.

Grey Day

A poor start to Sunday.  Looking over Broughton to the city.

Newhaven

Very low tide in the harbour.

Newhaven Harbour

Warriston Floodworks

Looking back towards Canonmills and on to the Castle. The houses are the back of Warriston Crescent.
