In the UK the east was always where the noxious industries were because of the prevailing westerly winds, so the West End would be where the posh houses, shops etc would be.

Dark gloomy.and atmospheric!

Beautiful picture

I like what they've done with the retail units on the left. Works well as a contrast to the STJ.

Great photo

Does nobody miss the old St James Centre? 🤣

Love this!

Great photo

Stunning historical architecture - what an awesome photograph - this view was made to be shot in black and white - it does make me wonder how many city residents walk by these amazing locations and never give a thought to their history.

Brilliant

That's a fascinating photo of such incredible figures - the workmanship is amazing - what do they represent?

Nicholson street?

Stunning photo.

Waverley Bridge. I've walked it many times too. To and from work.

Beautiful picture

An extra post for a breezy Friday. You might need to click to see the whole thing. Could make a good phone background maybe.

Outstanding

Beautiful black and white shot of that magnificent library in the darkness - but lighting up thanks to moonlight(?) or streetlights(?) - regardless, it looks fantastic.

I just love your black and white photos! 👏👏👏

Bit of the Saul Leiters in there; great work. I was sat in that seat on the bottom right yesterday.

Love Neil Gaiman, and he is so fitting for the dark side of Edinburgh. When I read The Graveyard Book I had visions of Greyfriars 🙂

Now, that is an awesome photo - lights shining in the darkness on the wet pavement - a lone person walking by on their way to somewhere - and how great is this - a Starbucks - open and ready to serve a nice, hot cup of coffee!
