Gable

I was in Leith today.
This is the gable end of the old Dr Bell's hospital
on Great Junction Street.

Street Scene

Another shot from my car. This is Leith Walk, at the east end of Princes St,
in the city centre.
I like this old barber shop,
with the red and white striped barber's pole. and underneath,
in the basement, is a secondhand book shop that my husband frequents!

Tower block

Edinburgh is not all Medieval, Georgian and Victorian buildings.
We also have 1960s tower blocks.
These are council housing, in the poorer parts of Edinburgh.

Silhouette

Another photo taken from my car while I was stuck at traffic lights.
I don't have time to compose a shot, so this one could have done
with a little more of the building I think. But the steeple is a nice architectural feature.
I think it is on top of Preston St Primary School.

Weather

We were surprised to wake up to a dusting of snow this morning.
It was thawing quickly, so I grabbed my camera to take some icy photos:

By this time it was quite sunny so Emily and I went to the canal to take some
photos of the daffodils and crocuses.
The weather changed, we were freezing, so we came home.
By the time we arrived home-only 30 minutes after we left,
this is what out house looked like:


and our street:



The photos were taken through the front windscreen of the car.
And now the sun is shining and it a gorgeous day outside!
