Another view through the windows showing the asymmetrical arch of the old swing bridge about 400 metres away. | |
 |
Looking into the mouth of Albert Dock. Edinburgh Dock is in the distance with Seafield Sewage Works and the Firth of Forth beyond. | |
 |
This sign removes any doubt as to which level of the car park you're on. Shining in the sunlight on the other side of Western Harbour are nascent waterfront buildings which will further transform this whole area. | |
 |
From Level 7 we can see all of Britannia, not especially large for a royal yacht. | |
 |
Same viewpoint as the previous photo but zoomed in for a look at the demolition work going on at Chancelot Flour Mill. Sadly, a worker was killed at this site. | |
 |
The apartment buildings across the harbour will have fabulous views of the sea-going traffic and the landscapes beyond. In this picture the town of Dalgety Bay is visible through the haze on the Firth of Forth. | |
 |
The railway line which passes under here has remained in use solely for transporting rubbish to Powderhall. The bridge has been weakened and road traffic restricted to one way to reduce the load. Salisbury Crags tower above in the distance behind Abbeyhill Tech Base. Those tiny dots, 4 pixels high, are people walking on the crags. Click here for the opposite view from the crags. |

 |
Three vessels in the docks. A submarine is travelling backwards towards Western Harbour with the assistance of a tug. An enormous ship resplendent with countless satellite dishes and radio antennae forms the background. | |
 |
From higher up (on top of a convenient multi-storey carpark) there's a better view of two of the large dishes as well as a small landing craft. | |
 |
The 7th floor of the carpark provides this view of the submarine and tug. We can see over the Firth of Forth to Kinghorn and its caravan site on the side of a hill. | |

I'd forgotten that I'd rescanned this old negative until I responded to a usenet message about lith film and solarising etc. The effect here is entirely chemically induced. The lines were formed by developer depletion in adjacent areas of high contrast. Do a search for Mackie Lines if you want more information. This image prints quite well but you are only allowed to make one copy for your own use. Commercial use is strictly forbidden as with all my work - info here. |
