	Queens Hall 2009 845 x 1024 185K	Winter morning sunlight catches the Queens Hall entrance and its clock tower which points into a pink sky. Technical info: Pentax Optio W60 F3.5 @ 1/25th second - ISO800. The next 4 pictures taken 6 years earlier in 2003 with 2MP not 10MP...
	Clerk Sreet 02 1152 x 864 201K	Taken from the other side of the road from the Queens Hall facing St Patrick Square. One eighth of a second exposure on a Sony DSC-U30 2 Megapixel camera.
	Melville Drive 04 1152 x 864 247K	A similar twilight shot as above but at the east end of Melville Drive facing the Lion's Head of Arthur's Seat. The tall building is part of the Royal Dick Vet. There are more pictures of Melville Drive here.
	Salisbury Night 0 1024 x 768 143K	At the south west corner of the Newington Road / Minto Street / Salisbury Place / Road junction. It's nightime and a car heading into town traces interesting patterns in this 1/8th of a second exposure.
	Salisbury Night 2 1024 x 768 106K	At the same corner looking diagonally across the top of Minto Street, a long straight hill full of hotels. A double decker LRT bus heads out of town towards Liberton or Gilmerton.
	St Patrick Street Night 1152 x 864 199K	Another after dark shot, this time of the blue lights belonging to a computer shop.
	Taxis 1152 x 864 227K	Clerk Street in Newington on a Sunday morning (Sept '04). There are no parked cars visible but there are two taxis, double-parked outside Greggs at the Queens Hall bus stop, forcing buses to stop in the middle of the road, straddling the white line.
	Clerk Street 8 1280 x 960 286K	This is how Clerk Street would have looked if the taxi drivers hadn't double parked at the bus stop. Not so long ago this main road would have been lined with parked cars but nowadays, thanks to traffic wardens the traffic flows more freely.
	Clerk Street 10 1280 x 854 287K	A different direction on a sunny afternoon. It's the same stretch of road facing the opposite way from near the lane known as Gifford Park (opposite Rankeillor Street). Montague Street and Bernard Terrace are the two side streets visible here.
	South Clerk St 4 1010 x 1050 314K	It's late morning on a sunny weekday and Newington is quite busy. The clock tower of Queens Hall stands over the tenements. A signpost points the way to Glasgow, starting along Melville Drive through The Meadows.
	Newington Rd Salisbury Rd 1280 x 890 324K	At the top of hotel-lined Minto Street is this junction where the number 5 bus turns to and from Churchhill and Morningside.
	Newington Rd Salisbury Rd 2 1280 x 868 227K	I took 3 long-lens shots to pass the time whilst waiting on a bus. The shiny metalwork decorated with sun, moon and stars caught my eye.
	Salisbury View 1 1280 x 868 184K	The dome of Edinburgh University Old College 1.28km distant is in the centre of the picture. The nearer steeple on the left is Queens Hall, 0.5km away.
	Salisbury View 2 1035 x 1024 141K	The background of rooves and chimneys is blurred here. A 29 bus heads from The Bridges area to Gorebridge, south of the city.
	Scot Widows Tree 1152 x 864 334K	Autumn colours in the sunshine at the side of the Scottish Widows building, opposite the Commonwealth Pool at Holyrood Park Road.
	Radical Road 5 1152 x 864 209K	Photographed from Arthur's Seat with the Olympus E-10's 420mm equivalent lens. A couple stroll along the Radical Road. To the right, out of view, are the crags. Behind the steep slope on the left can be seen part of central Edinburgh's skyline including the Scott Monument.
	Radical Road 9 1152 x 864 211K	Looking south east along the Radical Road footpath at the bottom of Salisbury Crags. The buildings down below at the right are student accomodation at Pollock Halls.
