Great photos Wangi

The sky was beautiful in the east this morning

There was a strikingly mysterious orange glow around 8.30

The sun has always aroused feelings of awe and mystery among the dwellers of the dark night...

There is a picture framing business recommended to me as being reasonable behind the Brunton Hall. I've used them once so far.

It's owned and run by a man called John, a local artist. Really nice guy and good framer.

Amazing pictures of skies, Wangi. Reminds me of when I had time to lie back and watch the clouds going by - must make time for that again - perhaps when the sun is shining and a bit warmer

As usual Wangi great pics

Got your rainbow ones framed - expensive - but they look fabulous - one I kept, one for my mum's Christmas and one for my friend's new year pressie. I hung mine in the kitchen - gives me great inspiration. Keep them coming...

Marya that picture looks slightly spooky

especially the drawn on ropes

or spiders web or whatever it's meant to be

We had our annual trip to winter wonderland on Monday (later than anticipated - was supposed to be Boxing Day with grandfather, and then NY Day with my brother and family but poured with rain so we went to the zoo instead - don't ask

) and the ice was melting so they had to sweep off the water - I'm told they always do this in the afternoon anyway, but it really was mild that day and people were trying to skate through huge puddles of water!

As the man said Wangi, 'spectacular'

Thanks guys - it certainly was a hard shot to get scrambling around the rocks at the foot of the Nelson Monument! I like the fire shots from that night better, but the site I host my photos on is down... so...

Ah! I had wondered where you were standing.

BTW Bellybabe really liked your photos too. Especially the black and white shots. Very atmospheric (and proof that you braved the 'big wheel'

).

Wangi,

"The Drip" is absolutely stunning!! How long were you hovering to get that shot?

I also really like the torchlight procession shot with the silhouettes of the folks in headgear. Very atmospheric.

Wangi, was this taken in Scotmid with the Sam packing his own bags?

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 14 Jan 2005, 18:49

wangi that is sooo cute. Must not be a timid squirrel coming up so close to the camera.

foxy · Post by **foxy** » 14 Jan 2005, 19:00

That "drip "is amazing Wangi

I love the reflection of the tap in the water...it never occurred to me before that that would happen

Your patience is admirable

The drip is an astonishing work of art., truly breathtaking.

What a drip Wangi

Stunning, I actually thought it was a glass bauble,maybe a Christmas decoration until I read everyone elses comments.

Post by **wangi** » 15 Jan 2005, 20:05

Love the sunrise from Leith Breakwater in particular Wangi. The sea looks really glutinous. These pictures are getting better and better......

I was really careful taking that one - the tide was coming in quite fast and... and... I got caught by the tide the Sunday before on Portobello Beach

Lets hope Wangi gets some of the moon tonight. It is awesome.

Guessing he won't be back for a while....

Post by **wangi** » 27 Jan 2005, 21:13

Wrong! Couldnae see any moon! At all, even when I decided it was a good time to check for storm damage to the roof...

It's manage to get lost I think, either that or it's hiding behind Coillesdene House...

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 27 Jan 2005, 21:30

OMG did you look along towards Seafield? Maybe I'm going bonkers?

Fabulous sunset this evening. Looking down Bath St towards the Prom, I have to admit that I thought the modern white facade of the new building set it off quite nicely. If I was trying to sell it I think it would have made a great picture.

Sorry about the size - but the smaller version looks rubbish (due to the JPEG compression):

Recently I've taken a lot of B&W shots (here are some from a Catz sat image inspired walk on Saturday) and decay... So it's a good change to have a splash of colour!

And here's one from windy Sunday:
