Arboretum Place
Looking down to the Castle from the entrance to Inverleith Park opposite the Botanics main gate. The Botanics and Park are handy for enjoying this unseasonal warm and sunny weather.

Art Council Style
This is the entrance to Edinburgh Council's administrative headquarters by the Waverley Station. I have no idea of the title of the work. Maybe it should be a competition.

The New Town
Sticking with curving facades this is a "rear" view of the New Town perched high above the Dean Gorge and photographed from the Dean Bridge, (built in 1833 by Thomas Telford), which spans the gorge cut by the Water of Leith. On the right, the back of Randolph Place, central would be Ainslie Place and the small section on the left, Moray Place.

Flood Works
Work on the flood defences for the Water of Leith continues. They have narrowed the flow considerably by the Newhaven Road bridge and the venturi effect results in a suddenly quicker flow.
