The first of two brick buildings that caught my eye in Annandale Street. This mosque has had an excellent paint job, enhanced by bright sunshine and the deep blue sky.

Traditional red bricks and the glass dome make this building unusual in Edinburgh. Lothian Buses were formerly known as LRT (Lothian Regional Transport). Prior to that they were called Edinburgh Corporation Transport.

The colony houses off Dalry road are overlooked by this quiet corner of the car and lorry park. The houses in the middle distance on the right are much newer and are on the other side of Dalry Road, overlooking the railway line.

Looking west towards the Gorgie area. The former railway bridge in the distance carries the Western Approach Road over Dalry Road. Maplin electronics caters for electronics and computer enthusiasts, and across the road is Silicon, the cut-price computer shop. The girl in the foreground has just seen her hat blow across the road into the traffic.

There may be as many as eight of these signs, a welcome sight to any tradesmen looking for houses in this circular street bisected by Circus Place.

Taken from the same corner as the previous picture. The cobbled road is looking good in the sunshine. Pedestrians get advance warning of approaching traffic because of tyre noise.
