Thanks Alex! Yes, there's so much history contained in those few buildings.

Hi Alan, greetings from the UK :) I remember climbing up those steep sides to get to the castle wall as a kid... Great shot and I like the choice of tint in the mono :)

I would be tempted (no, I'd have to) clone out those lamp posts...

Thank you highton-ridley! Yes, those lamp-posts really do drain the atmosphere from the shot, I should remove them in a revision.

The trouble with Edinburgh these days is they seem to put up posts and poles up everywhere with parking information notices on them with no regard to the heritage or design of the great city, shame. by the way nice photo!

Thank you Endelta! I agree, here for example they could have at least installed decorative lamp posts instead of these bland modern ones completely out of context with the castle.

See how Windsor Castle in the UK does it here

Thanks for the link highton-ridley! Windsor council seems to have remained sensitive to the surroundings.

Hey Alan, I don't think they would have wanted to explore the alternatives... being put in the Tower of London by an upset Queen!! :))

LOL, I guess not. I don't think regular UK street lamps have enough gold-leaf for the Queen's liking :-)
