Roseburn |
An LRT bus (number unknown) speeds towards the city centre. The main theme of the picture is contrasting textures and colours. |

Roseburn 2 |
Facing east towards Haymarket and the city centre. The former rail bridge is now part of Edinburgh's cycle-way network. |

Outside, looking back. This image has been 'enhanced' in Photoshop to create a weird optical illusion. |

In this picture a cyclist is emerging from the tunnel, heading west towards Juniper Green and Currie. This is a safer route than Lanark Road which runs parallel. |

Colinton Dell Bridge Road 681 x 1024 256K |
Gillespie Road descends from Lanark Road to cross the Water of Leith at Colinton Village. The footpath now overhangs the side, allowing the carriageway to be wider. Before the Edinburgh City Bypass was built, this road and Craiglockhart Avenue used to carry most of the traffic trying to cross the city on its southern side. |

Millstream |
Photograph taken in bright sunshine with infrared film. This is part of the Water of Leith Walkway in Colinton Dell. |
 |
December sunshine on the trees on the southern banks of the Water of Leith. This former industrial site has lain vacant for some time and the wall has be decorated with some colourful graffiti. | |
 |
It's been a while since any vehicles stopped here to have their fuel tanks filled. | |
 |
Another view of the abandoned site. | |

Currie
Kirk |
This picture was also taken from the Water of Leith Walkway where the old railway bridge crosses over the road from Currie village. |
 |
Corstorphine |
Dramatic skies over Corstorphine, as photographed from Swanston. That light grey building dominates the view for miles around and should never have been permitted IMHO. |
 |
Blue
Chip |
Drum Brae Roundabout looking north from the south west corner of this major road junction. Blue Chip Computers (RIP) is just across the road from PC World's Corstorphine branch, as well as some establishment masquerading as a 'restaurant'. A lollipop lady takes her life in her hands, helping pedestrians cross Drum Brae South. |
