well, doric anyway! Brilliantly simple. I like this a lot.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I'm thinking Doric = from the Dorian region, therefore Dorian would be acceptable...

This is an odd lump of neo-Greek architecture on the top of Calton Hill overlooking Princes Street. It was the start of a large building, but they quickly ran out of money, and just abandoned the site. Can't imagine Edinburgh without it now...

50 Shades of Grey Rob!

Lovely comp - I like the vignette as well

 

[Brian Moore]

Neo-Greek...? Doric is from Aberdeenshire isn't it Rob?

Smashin' fotie, Rob.

The Mamiya C330? What film, laddie?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha ha! Good one, Brian.

Yes, the C330. Acros 100. Vignette added...

 

[Beth Carter]

love the low viewpoint, it adds a lot of drama to the scene.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks again, Beth. I've photographed it a few times, but this angle is new to me.

I was about to reply...and then read everyone else...and they said everything I was thinking. So...I'll just say...I like this for all those reasons.

Cheers, Glenn. It's the sort of image Nihat might have liked...
