	Waverley Station (west view 2) 1024 x 768 172K	There are two ramps connecting the train station to Waverley Bridge. This is how the entrance ramp looks in 2002. Compare this with the picture from the '70s on page 1 of this section.
	Waverley Station Ramp 03 1152 x 864 227K	Essentially the same picture as the one above but from further away through a long lens. The perspective is radically different.
	George St 00 1024 x 768 110K	The Royal Society of Edinburgh at 22-26 George Street. This is a picture of the green copper dome.
	George St 01 1024 x 768 145K	A hand-painted sign in keeping with the curved, wrought iron gate standing at the entrance to a lane on the south side of the street.
	George St o2 1024 x 768 190K	Just round the corner is this elegant old shop front at first floor level. Some of the window panes are of curved glass.
	George St o3 752 x 768 166K	Sunlight bounces off the north side of George Street and is reflected onto the front door of the Northern Lighthouse Board. There is a miniature lighthouse above the door, outside the first floor window.
	George St o4 1024 x 768 267K	A study of texture and sunlight (as well as plumbing).
	Zero Tolerance 1024 x 768 114K	The Rutland Street headquarters of ZERO TOLERANCE CHARITABLE TRUST [sic] - aka ZT TRADING LTD [sic]. What strange goings-on are there behind that blue door, I wonder...
	Rutland Square 1 1280 x 851 322K	Rachel Boase who lives here emailed me a month ago enquiring if I'd any photos of Rutland Square. Here's a couple I took as a result of her message.
	Rutland Square 2 681 x 1024 229K	This is the eastern corner of Rutland Square, photographed from the footbridge which crosses Rutland Court Lane on the way to the junction of Lothian Road and the Western Approach Road.
	Rutland Court Lane 1080 x 1080 355K	This is the view in the opposite direction.
	Standard Life 2 692 x 1024 172K	Opinions vary about modern architecture like this but it does lend itself to photography with ultra-wide and fisheye lenses. This is a sequence I took as I walked from Rutland Square to Lothian Road.
	Standard Life 3 673 x 1024 179K	Further along the footpath where the hard textures of stone and glass are softened by some greenery.
	Standard Life 4 669 x 1024 170K	The greenery ends at a circular pattern of flagstones just before the entrance to the passageway under the building.
	Standard Life 5 1280 x 851 197K	In the passageway there are revolving glass doors on either side. Lights are set into the floor.
	Standard Life 7 1280 x 851 144K	Lothian Road is on the left and the Western Approach Road is on the right. The stairs in the middle lead up to the Insurance Company's main entrance.
	Standard Life 9 1280 x 909 255K	This final photo taken with a non-fisheye wide angle lens. The Western Approach Road meets Lothian Road here. The walkway pictured above can be entered at the side of the steps.
	Rails 1152 x 864 307K	Gleaming in the sunlight, these rails make interesting patterns as seen through a telephoto lens. The amount of detail makes the .jpg file larger.
	Coates Crescent Statue 576 x 768 59K	I love this statue in Shandwick Place at the centre of Coates Crescent. The woman looks so natural, looking up from whatever it is she's reading...
