A building close by the royal yacht. I didn't notice the cat when I took the picture. I only noticed it when editing in PhotoShop.

That's the name of the establishment across the river, the Water Of Leith. Looks vaguely Dutch...

I got hung up on the colours and textures here. January sunshine and a wide-angle lens. LCD screen and swivel-lens for a worm's-eye view.

The cobblestones are groovily grouted with green moss.

The last of the pink metal trio of photos. Gorgeous moss shown to advantage with the wide-angle lens on the Nikon Coolpix 900.

Lisa Johnson from New Zealand told me this was in Henderson St. In the back left is No 89 Henderson St where her gran and grandad lived. Alan Mackay tells me 'it was directly opposite Tollbooth Wynd around the corner from the old 'Brew' and Lamb House. It was a community project in the mid to late seventies. I remember it well and have a friend who used to work on the playground.'

Another photo of the playground scanned from an old negative. That's my daughter Linda standing on the pipe.

The setting sun catches Britannia in the distance. This is near Newhaven harbour.

A rather different view to Oyster Bar (above) which I took more recently from the other side of the Water Of Leith. I called this image 'quiet' when I saved it - for obvious reasons. Taken in the late '70s or early '80s.

The same view more recently in March 2010. The same church spire is visible in both this and the previous picture.
