Autumn in Edinburgh is reaching a crescendo like an orchestra in full flow. The Ross Fountain was getting its flows disrupted by strong winds.

Nearly completely missed tonight's sunset but saw someone's image of it on twitter and grabbed a quick one using the neighbour's car to double up the colourful sky.

The Party's Over - at sunset last night Scots gathered to wave a fond farewell to our festival guests - looking back over their shoulders they could see a message written in ancient Celtic Fireoglyphics - Haste Ye Back (but BYOB)

Sun behind Dugald Stewart & Nelson mons last night with Forth Bridges as background. High cirrus clouds made exposure difficult so will try again on a clearer night - a compelling view requires worrying a bone until really chewing into the marrow for photography satisfaction.
