Funfair

It will be a cold end to 2012 for the New Year revellers here tonight.

Princes Street

From Calton Hill.  Still not a tram in sight

Cobbles

These cobbles are outside the American Consulate.  Due to security precautions the area is almost traffic-less and so nature has started to reclaim the area.

Holyrood and Lums

The Palace and park from Calton Hill. The little ruin in the background is St Anthony's Chapel.

Wendy Wood

Simple plaque in the Old Calton burial ground.

Shaw's Colonies

A lesser known example of "Colony" housing in Pilrig.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_houses#Description

Burns Monument

Arthur's Seat in the background.

Big Wheel

A time exposure from Market Street.

Claremont Crescent

Winter sun and shadows from the gardens.

Waverley Station

Another miserable wet day. Edinburgh's main train station looking east from beside the National Gallery.

Lothian Road

A dull wet day in Edinburgh, how surprising.  This is the view looking east from the bridge that crosses the Western Approach Road as it arrives at Lothian road so you are looking at the west side of the Castle.

Dried Fruit Garlands

On display in a stall at the German Market in Princes Street Gardens. Strings of dried fruit and spices, very odoriferous.

Skating Rink

The temporary Christmas Rink in Princes Street Gardens with the National Gallery and Castle.

Big Wheel

The Big Wheel in Princes St Gardens by the Scott Monument.

Waverley Gate

This is the entrance to the Waverley gate development in what was the old Post Office in Waterloo Place. The reflection is part of the Records Office opposite.

Post Box

A wall mounted box.

Lincoln

In the Calton Burial Ground. Wonder what he would have thought of gun control.

Waverley Station

A train emerging from the tunnel and entering the station which is sporting its new roof.

Regent Terrace

The classic Edinburgh lamp.

Meter

The now standard parking meter.  Won't even take 10p pieces any-more.

Control Tower

Picking a friend up from the airport. The lurid illumination of the control tower.

Inverleith

Looking across the park to the castle.

Nelson's Monument

On Calton Hill looking through the pillars of the unfinished National Monument.

Sunset

Stuck at work today.  This the view as the sun disappears.

Last of the Light

The last rays of sunlight hit the converted warehouses on South Fort Street in Leith.

Wardie Bay

A horrible wet, cold and thorugherly miserable day.  Missing days due to camera malfunction.  In for repairs and having to reboot an older model.

A Little Snow

Leith Harbour development.

Edinburgh in the Distance

Taken from the top of Dumayat, the most westerly of the Ochill Hills.  A telephoto shot towards Edinburgh through the cold haze.  You can just about make out the big crane at Rosyth Docks, with the Forth Bridges behind and then back to the Castle and Arthur's Seat. Need to click on to enlarge. Probably about 35 miles away.

Dusk

Over the Stewart's Melville main Rugby pitch, just catching the stand.
