	Craiglockhart View 21 1920 x 1080 148K	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.
	Craiglockhart View 25 1920 x 1080 133K	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.

	Technical Stuff4 1680 x 1050 1.56M	Where the previous one had fine jets, this one has a liquid layer. I made the mesh bumpy by adding virtual noise.
	Polo Field 1920 1920 x 1080 476K	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.

	Misty65 1920 x 1080 128K	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.
	Misty44 1920 x 1080 114K	At the back is Allermuir and the Pentland Hills. Nearer are the Braid Hills and in front is Blackford Hill with the Royal Observatory.
	Misty54 1920 x 1080 122K	Poking above the mist are from left to right: Peffermill Court, Craigmillar Court, Craigmillar Castle and the Moredun flats.

	Cul Mor to Suilven 1680 x 1050 377K	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.
	Loch Skeen 1680 x 1050 387K	If you climb up the steep footpath beside the Grey Mare's Tail waterfall then eventually you'll reach this beauty spot.

	Princes Street 1680 x 1050 231K	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).
	Cobbles & Siver 1680 x 1050 296K	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.
