  • The inside castle gate to Edinburgh Castle at night shows a little bit of light reflecting off the metal studs in the door and shadows from the portcullis. In black and white.
  • The exterior wall of Edinburgh Castle is built on a solid rock foundation. The fortifications of of heavy stones provide protection for the inner fortress. This long night exposure shows the moon with a bit of movement.

  • The windows of the Great Hall of Edinburgh Castle glow at night from across the courtyard.
  • The National Monument in Edinburgh, Scotland was designed as a war memorial in the 1800s. Intended to be a copy of the Parthenon in Athens, it was never finished.

  • A building on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh's Old Town is illuminated with white and red lights at night.

  • A series of sun-bleached, weather-beaten wood picket slats form an uneven fence acting as a wind barrier on a grassy Scottish hill in Holyrood Park in Edinburgh. They remind me of a series of old bones sticking out of the hill. In black and white.
