The backs of tenements, with a rising moon...

Actually, this is the other side of the bridge from this area, which has appeared on this forum in various guises:

Liking the first as I do and have in the past the second. Great to see the area as a whole. Those clouds really work well in the sky.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, Julian, the clouds are interesting. Pity the moon wasn't bigger.

 

[Tom Dunne]

The tenements seem to be built to an overall wavy fashion, not straight is what I think I'm trying to say That makes it interesting.
The actual clouds are recorded beautifully and I noticed the little moon. It's great that it's there at all.
Who positioned that bridge

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It's a great bridge, built by Thomas Telford in 18OAtcake, and forms the main entrance to Edinburgh from the north. It gets quite choked up at times.

 

[Pete Askew]

Another superb pair of images Rob. Love the light and glow in the first and the slightly oppressive feel of the second.

 

[Brian Moore]

Excellent, Rob. With a doff of the cap to Mr. A. Adams, I might have called it "Moon Over The Backies."

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That Adams guy keeps following me around...kind of bugging...

 

[Pete Askew]

The one with the moustache or the one with the long black Kaftan? Serves you right for keep photographing their castle!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

@Brian Moore - Brian, on Flickr you asked me which was my window. I can't get into flickr this afternoon (don't know why) so will answer you here: I WISH! These flats are about half a million quid upwards, some three million. Nae kiddin!
