Edinburgh - Sunset from Stockbridge - a photo on Flickriver

            Out with a pal and respected local photographer Don Munro of @edinburghphotowalks for the evening. 

The Lumineers were playing the Castle Esplanade that evening, but because I'm a dinosaur and don't listen to hipster music I didn't recognise them. I guess they're a big deal? Dunno - anyway, got a free concert whilst up on the roof. 

It had been a somewhat busy day so a cheeky rooftop spot dripping with peace and tranquility is exactly what I needed, with a good chin wag icing on the cake.

Taken on top of a roof in Stockbridge - permission visit (as in I have keys). It's a very pleasant place to spend the evening watching the changing light, especially with a wee dram and a pal who enjoys talking philosophy.

Both stitched panoramics. The sunset image is from 60 frames ending up 42,000 pixels wide before I started cropping. Ended up 23,000 wide and reduced in quality so Flickr would accept it. Even in the reduced file, you zoom in 50% to the hill on the far left (Arthur's Seat) and you can count the number of people and even see what colour clothing they have on: 29 on the peak with 2 walking along the ridge. One fella wearing UNC-CH Blue - who knows, mabye a Tar Heel trying to hear his hipster band? 

A bit of a shame - we witnessed a spectacular rainbow and while I managed to capture it with a simliar process as to the above, my settings were too slow so in my haste the image is too blurry to go into a portfolio. Ah well. Next time.
