The middle distance is rainswept but further away it's clear enough to see the distant mountains. In the foreground suburban homes are switching their lights on. |

Rain and low sun combine to give a subtle effect in this view of Corstorphine Hill. The green patch on the left is part of Carrick Knowe golf course. |
 |
Meant for use by technicians in a PC Clinic - rendered 3D wireframe models. | |
 |
Where the previous one had fine jets, this one has a liquid layer. I made the mesh bumpy by adding virtual noise. | |
 |
The Polo Field near Laverockbank and Bonaly that they wanted to build houses on. The A720 runs behind the line of trees. Behind the woods Howden Glen leads up the Pentland Hills. | |
 |
Two variations for larger monitors. | |
 |
Slight change of hue for this one. | |
 |
My personal choice for Desktop Wallpaper in its larger 1920 x 1280 version here. That speck on the edge of the crags is a person, which gives an idea of scale in this scene. | |
 |
At the back is Allermuir and the Pentland Hills. Nearer are the Braid Hills and in front is Blackford Hill with the Royal Observatory. | |
 |
Poking above the mist are from left to right: Peffermill Court, Craigmillar Court, Craigmillar Castle and the Moredun flats. | |
 |
A misty June morning at the Polo Field between Laverockdale and the A720 bypass. You can get off the 16 bus at the 2nd stop in Redford Drive and walk through here to the Pentland Hills. | |
 |
On the summit 3 or 4 hillwalkers admire the view at the south west end of the main Pentland Hills ridge. | |
 |

 |
A long lens view (~180mm) of Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat, the remants of a volcano. Allermuir is the highest Pentland Hill overlooking Edinburgh. Fife lies across the Firth of Forth. | |
 |
This section of the Braid Burn lies just south of the A720 Edinburgh Bypass road beside the path from Laverockdale and the Polo Fields to White Hill near Bonaly. | |
 |
In common with the other reservoirs in the Pentland Hills, Bonaly Reservoir is used for flood control and doesn't supply drinking water. | |
 |
Capelaw hill overlooks Bonaly Reservoir. | |
 |
In this view Capelaw is on the left and Allermuir is up to the right. | |
 |
The metal bench is visible in Google Maps and Google Earth and affords views to the north towards the Firth of Forth. Part of Corstorphine Hill is visible on the right. | |
 |
Cul Mor is an easier climb than Suilven but it's strewn with boulders in this part. There's no obvious path so it's essential to wear boots. | |
 |
If you climb up the steep footpath beside the Grey Mare's Tail waterfall then eventually you'll reach this beauty spot. | |
 |
For this view of Loch Skeen you'll have to climb the hills at the back of Loch Skeen. It's best to go clockwise if you're having a circular walk. Good boots and a change of clothing advised. | |
 |
Photograph taken near Lauterbrunnen, south of Interlaken. | |
 |
Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair is the name of this stunningly beatiful loch. A fairly easy walk on the footpath from a small car park midway between Kinlochewe and Torridon will get you here. | |
 |
As well as the roof you can see the dome of Edinburgh's Old College, and further away to the east, North Berwick Law and Aberlady Bay Nature Reserve. | |
 |
A moment frozen in time on a busy Princes Street. It's busy despite being closed to cars (permanently) and blocked off at the West End (while tram work goes ahead). | |
 |
Edinburgh folk have always called drain covers like this one 'sivers' - but I'm unsure of the spelling as I couldn't find it in any Scots vernacular dictionaries. I gave this image a psychedelic treatment. | |
 |
Photographed from near the summit of Allermuir. From left to right the hills are Castlelaw, Turnhouse, Carnethy, Scald Law, East Kip, West Kip and Black Hill. | |
 |
This view was taken with a longer lens. From the left the hills are Scald Law, East Kip, West Kip. Black Hill is the higher rounded hill on the right. | |
 |
Landmarks visible are the triangular shaped North Berwick Law, the new development at Leith's Western Harbour, and all that remains of Granton Gasworks. | |
 |
Photographed from Cramond Island looking back towards Silverknowes Esplanade at low tide. The sunlight sparkles on the wet sand. A wading bird looks for food. | |
 |
The path in the bottom left foreground is very narrow, not much wider than your boots. It leads up Caerketton Hill above the skislope and becomes very steep. Swanston village lies down to the right. In the distance the sunset is reflected on the Firth of Forth. | |
 |
Wouldn't you rather be here right now, strolling through this peaceful landscape..? Turnhouse, Carnethy, Scald Law, East Kip, West Kip, Black Hill, West and East Cairn Hills can all be plainly seen in this view from Capelaw. | |
 |
Capelaw
from Howden Glen 02 1680 x 1050 294K |
On the right is Capelaw. The pointed outline of West Kip can be recognised in the distance with Black Hill's rounded outline to its right. |
 |
9 o'clock on a January morning in 2009 as the sun peeks over the ridge between Allermuir and Castlelaw. | |
 |
A couple of climbers ascend the cliff face at Hawkcraig Point, Aberdour. On the horizon can be seen Inchkeith Island and Edinburgh's Arthur's Seat. | |
 |
A wide image of Edinburgh as seen from Aberdour. Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags on the left and Edinburgh Castle on the right. | |
 |
Wide open space is the theme - sparkling water and a flat expanse of sand. Also available 1n 1920 x 1080 pixels if this suits your monitor better. |
