Rather more artistic than most graffiti, these three images currently adorn the east wall of Craiglockhart Tennis and Sports Centre. The sunshine is filtered by the trees on the steep western slopes of East Craiglockhart Hill.

Buckstone, Clinton, Comiston, Craiglockhart |

Buckstone housing development / project / scheme. It nestles / lurks to the south of Buckstone Snab and is thus deprived of good TV reception from the Craigkelly transmitter. This is a fairly up-market area where you can enjoy the sounds of the 'burbs, e.g. blackbirds and rotating electrical machinery. | |

Red sandstone, red-painted doors and gold lettering. This local theatre is in Morningside Road just up the hill from the Holy Corner junction. More information from Capinfo. | |

This was originally the main road and tramway before Strathearn Place was opened up to connect with Greenhill Gardens and Church Hill. | |
|
The A702 main road as it climbs south from Morningside to Fairmilehead and the Pentland Hills. | |
|
Another view, this time from further uphill just before the junction with Braid Hills Road. | |
|
Salisbury Crags and the west side of Blackford Hill as photographed from the Braid Hills. | |
|
This pond is close by Craiglockhart Sports Centre in an area known as Happy Valley. There's a thin film of ice on the water's surface, this winter morning. | |

The sunlight is brighter here and shows the bright colours on the rough surface. This and the previous picture are well-executed, straightforward portraits of men with green, white and brown faces. | |
|
This image has a cartoon-like background vaguely reminiscent of Robert Crumb's city scenes. Surreal perspective text appears to hover over the buildings, while two shifty-looking characters glare at each other. Natural green vegetation complements the reds and blues, not forgetting the sky which is 'kinda yellow' to quote the Traveling Wilburys. | |
|
This one photographed September 2008. IMHO better art than much of the weird shit you often encounter in the expensive, hallowed halls of fashionable institutions... | |
|
The view from Craiglockhart Hill, looking north west towards Myreside Road and Colinton Road. | |
|
Looks like a space ship has landed at Craiglockhart Campus. Photograph taken from the top of Easter Craiglockhart Hill. | |
|
Not long ago, Meggetland was a green space at the north side of the Union canal. In this picture it appears as a brown space, soon to be covered in tarmac and houses. In the distance a bank of fog sits on top of the Firth of Forth. The hills of Fife lie beyond. | |
|
Photographed from my roof through a x10 zoom lens is this picture of Napier University's Craighouse Campus. The Pentland Hills at Bonaly are nearly 4km beyond but the long lens makes them seem much closer. | |
|
A long lens view over Craighouse Campus and Corstorphine Hill to the Firth of Forth. Part of the road and rail bridges can be seen in the evening haze. A plane is descending towards Edinburgh Airport. |
