This is an old tradition that has just been revived in the last few years. Riding The Marches involves several hundred riders on gorgeous horses riding across country and into the center of Edinburgh. It is quite an entrance as they come up the Royal Mile behind a bagpipe band.

It was great to explore and photograph Waverley Station. It is nearly impossible to capture the entire complex from ground level. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can do some outside shots. This series is of the main terminal area showing tracks 14 – 18.

Belgium soccer fans have invaded Scotland to support their team in the big match today, and have a wee bit of fun along the way!

This street performer is highly talented, however she did not seem to be enjoying her day as much as we enjoyed listening to her play.

The ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral are huge with the surrounding cemetery and walls. It is one of those sites that to photograph adequately, it would require a day or two and some careful thought. With that in mind I will post her a general shot and perhaps another or two later.

Visited St. Andrews today, it was an easy train – bus trip from Edinburgh. If in St. Andrews, you must see the old course, but there is so much more…
This photo is of the castle ruins perched above the sea. They are fascinating and very photogenic. I used my ultra, wide angle lens to capture the castle, sea and swirling clouds.

I like to take photographs in Greyfriars Kickyard (Graveyard) in Scotland and also do street photography on occasion. I combined the two this afternoon. I volunteered to take a photo of two lovely women from Spain with there camera and in return they let me take their photo with my camera. It was as you can see, a study of contrast compared to what else caught my eye.
