    Edinburgh Fireworks Final to The Festival 2013

    I stood with excited and expectant crowds in strong winds and swirling mists in Princes Street for a spectaculare Fireworks Show which lasted for 45 glorious minutes.  What a setting:  The Castle! So many view points in the old city.  The outdoor Scottish Chamber orchestra sparked off the final event with the "Dance of the Comedians." These photos belong to "Real Edinburgh". 




    Imagine the sky above Bethlehem on the night of Christ's birth - ablaze with the Angels
    announcing the arrival of Jesus, the Saviour!

    Curlew on the Cycle Route in Edinburgh

    Later afternoon - about 2 hours.
    Distance:  9 Miles
    Max:  26.5 mph
    Average:  7.9 mph



    Oops, the chain came off twice, and I still need to master the folding and unfolding of the "Trooper" and learn how to dismantle the front wheel - solo.

    The neverending change of the play of light with the firth and low-tide sand-patterns matched the whizz of the tyres as I pedalled adjacent to the Firth of the Forth between Cramond and Granton.  From there I turned back to Silverknowes, D'Mains,  I peddalled as fast as I could up and down and around the beautiful Barnton Park:  the  tall trees are still bearing their summer leaves.

    My camera needs to be taken in for repairs, so I can only claim the 4th image of a flock of Curlews doing their rounds high up in the sky above Cramond Island and Shore.




    It is down this road I reached the maximum speed of 26.5 mph - flying (for me).




    The Curlew presented as quite a character - on the RSPB website


    At last - my own photo of a flock fo Curlews doing their rounds above the Cramond Island.




    This is exactly where I cycled - but no frost on the boulders - thankfully!


    Today's cycle route ended with a forest ride and fast speeds alongside big summer trees.



    There's no business like show business at Edinburgh Fringe 2013

    Edinburgh Fringe 2013

    Today The Mile was heaving with tourists, the flyers flying and the Wedding Story maximum exuberance and fun.

    The talented Tom Ward played his "holly" classical guitar with intensity.

    All and all, free entertainment all round and another mega reason to be thankful for
    living in a city like Edinburgh.

    Praise the Lord!
