The way I see it… from this side… my side…
it all depends… I mean… OTH… perhaps if…
I mean… as one may guess… never mind,
I love that stuff, Alf! (y)(y)(y):ROFLMAO::wacky:

That's some sky! Nice that there was a convenient pillar to hide the sun behind in the first ;) and I like the way the bridges don't dominate the image but just tie it together.

Thanks Jan I moved to get the sun behind that pillar

Thankyou Kodiak
 
Evening Alf,

They're both belting images but the second one does it for me. The longer I look at the image the more I see; I like the industrialisation of the foreground and then the middle layer that I expect is urban sprawl and finally onto the mountain in the background.

Thanks Ned the colours are what led me to change from 9mm to 200mm (on m4/3) for the shot.
 
They're lovely images! Great work!

The first one screams Postcard to me :)
 
The first one is spot on, full bridge in frame and perfect light.

i saw your other post and began to realise where you were standing...near the quay at the south queensferry??
it must be difficult to get all three in now...there is a wooded riverside walk under the rail bridge going east...but a conglomeration of three bridges would be a mess
thanks for clearing that up
where else did you visit?
cheers

We had been to Edinburgh for the day on a whim. As we set off I decided I wanted to see the bridges and we took a detour to Queensferry at the harbour. We had fish and chips (I had haggis and chips) watched the sunset I took some shot then drove home to West Cumbria.

we used to do a blast to the lakes from manchester or llandudno...fish and chips as well and then homeward bound... around 90 minutes on motorways
for edinburgh we used to go A74 then biggar way

my favourite tipple in my homeland with chips is finnan haddie..one doesnt see it down here..:(

I have eaten haggis regularly all my life as my Mam is a Scot. I usually get haggis at local chillies.
I have not seen smoked haddock in a chippy myself.

How do they serve it in a chippy?
I love smoked fish myself in fact smoked food in general. Smoked haddock is great in a fish pie.
Oh yeah you wont find my letterbox in Workington I do not live there

Interesting I have never thought of battered smoked fish before.I did see a deep fried pizza with brown sauce being served while I waited for my haggis and chips.
I am a Whitehaven lad born and bred Geof I live just outside now though.

Thats somewhere between a pineapple fritter and Churros but deep fried bounty is supposed to be really good. The mars in aroll is little different to a jam sandwich or sugar sandwich.
