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
