The fountains in the foreground have an inflatable building for company. |

Square 2 1024 x 768 158K |
Known locally as "A Load of Balls". Quite interesting to look at, especially when someone occasionally adds washing-up liquid to the fountain. Two cyclists circle round in the sunshine. |

The first of five photos of the footbridge which crosses the Western Approach Road near its junction with Lothian Road. You can now walk from Morrison Street to Rutland Square, passing the Edinburgh International Conference Centre and the shiny new financial area. |

A symmetrical view of the bridge. It looks as if it could withstand just about any natural disaster, or even a nuclear explosion. |
