From the Top of the Town

The sky had been dark and grey for much of the day but brightened up around dinner time. We get quite a good view across to Edinburgh from the end of our drive and on a clear day, you can see Arthur's Seat and the Castle and the city skyline. Great at new year to watch the fireworks (that will be 1 Jan blip sorted I think) and I have had some nice sunrise shots from here too.

However, a few minutes walk from the house takes you to the highest point in the town and a great panoramic view that takes in Leith, Edinburgh, the Forth Road and Rail bridges, the Firth of Forth, Rosyth Dockyard and across towards Linlithgow. It is from this spot that I took my blip tonight of the Forth Road Bridge.

Hoping to invest in some new kit for the camera - blipfoto has really fired up my enthusiasm again - and a wide angle lens is on the wish list. Would like to experiment with panoramic shots to see if I could capture all of this view.
