Wonderful. I've never walked the Dean Bridge at night, so this is a first. There are such great views from both sides.
Thank you as always for the provocative images and words.

What a fascinating photo - the ceiling is so incredible - voices must really echo in there. It almost looks like a version of our shopping malls but it isn't crowded enough - ??
Fabulous photo- one of your best ♥️
I spent so much time there as possible. I wish I had the chance to be there again! Lovely museum!

Beautiful photo and I don’t know how you match up all the quotes. It is fantastic’
i Live in Australia and smile every time i see The Royal Scots Greys monument i get to think of my Uncle, Thomas Hall a Grey who lost his life in Arnhem in WW2 whos name along with others appears on the monument,His medals were donated and now hang in Edinburgh Castle.I'm the Son of a Grey a Nephew of a Grey also the Grandson of a Grey, i've never served but am very Proud
I always called this my Grandad’s Horse. He was in Scots Greys and was also club master at The Greys Club in West Maitland Street for many years. Went to remembrance service there every year until he died in the late 70s.

A real beauty of a photograph - interesting how black and white emphasizes the long shadows of those stunning trees on the ground - simple, but stunning!
A truly appropriate quote for a truly engaging photo.
Gorgeous photograph - I love the buildings and architecture of Edinburgh - so unlike anything we have here in New England and showcases the city's fantastic history.
Cannongate. On the left hand corner New Street
down to the Lower Calton Road.The Ark was also on that corner, my Dad took me several times😢 days.

A nice change. Street name?
Beautiful photo. I love it when I guess correctly where the photo was taken! I moved from Edinburgh over 30 years ago.
Is this a quote from one of his tales?
