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.

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

Friday 21 December 2012

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.

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

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.

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.
