"The station was first opened in 1846 and was rebuilt between 1892-1902. It lies between the old town and modern Edinburgh, adjacent to Princes Street, Edinburgh Castle and the Princes Street Gardens. The station serves over 14 million people each year.

I'm fortunate enough to work in an office building which provides some nice views over Edinburgh. This was taken in October 2005, during a particularly spectacular sunset. This shot was taken the same evening: West End Sunset
"A great reward for the 'not-so-early' riser. Sunrise is around 7am in this part of the world at the moment.

"It's a while since i've visited this mysterious abandoned farm close to Rowbank Reservoir, one of the few ruins in the area that's not marked on my map. Autumn really kicking in now as you can see, compared to this shot i took here earlier in the year when it was a bit greener. Shot taken about an hour before sundown :-)"
And of course the quirky....
