Green Edinburgh Castle – St. Patrick’s Day
Arthur seat
a wee panoramic photo of Arthur’s Seat, also added to the random header imaged.
Castle Esplanade
Taken from the Castle Esplanade, looking down Castlehill & The Royal Mile we can see – Ramsay Garden (Nice apartments if you can afford it), – Camera Obscura formally Outlook Tower (small Observatory dating from 1850), The Crown Of St. Giles Cathedral and the Hub (an old Church now home of the International Festival)
The statue of David Hume sits upon the Royal mile, but if you look closely you will notice his big toe is a shiny brass colour! This was started a while back by philosophy students rubbing it then wishing that his wisdom will rub off on them.

Unfortunate I wont make it there tomorrow, bit of a scunner! but fortunatly for me they were testing the lights today, just miss out on the fire. here are a few pics

Edinburgh Castle snow
A picture of Edinburgh Castle, with the Ross Fountain below taken 4 years ago during the bad winter, December 1 2010. Taken with a Point and click camera
Its been mild recently, so no snow yet! would be nice to get a chance to take decent photos in the snow.
I had to take some night shots, I’m crap at this… but everyday is a school day, as they say
ISO 200 2 second exposure, and aperture was auto.
Edinburgh Chtistmas
