How small elements within a picture can create a big contrast in a picture - from being a photo about a timeless cobblestone street to one about parking restrictions in #Edinburgh

[Iscotlanda @iscotlanda]

Until the end of March I will be posting all photos from my #Edinburgh #conservation and #urbanisation #photography project supported by the National Lottery & @CreativeScots

Picture 4 of 50: Meanwhile...in #Leith
Location: Leith Walk, #Edinburgh

A very telling illustration of that tension between the needs of the community and community space versus the needs of developmment and how each other interact with space in urban environments.

The Pentland Hills looking their absolute best today covered with #snow ! But the wind is really strong, careful if you head up there today ! #VisitScotland #hiking

What a sunset #Edinburgh put on this evening ! Makes you forget it’s Sunday evening

[Iscotlanda @iscotlanda]

What is it in photos that make them interesting ? In my view, one that raises more questions than it answers. A short read here, hopefully interesting - https://t.co/Blv8tq90ir #photograghy #TorchlightProcession

[Iscotlanda @iscotlanda]

Happy #Hogmamay wherever you are in the world today and may the next year be merry! For all the serious stuff happening right now, it’s important to appreciate the fun moments where they are like the #TorchlightProcession

@BSa_Ba @HistEnvScot Thanks ! I’m not a native speaker but glad that it seems I didn’t miss too much :) The only other thing I spotted was the words above the date : “فتحة" and “سنة" - just meaning the year it was opened / erected I suppose (?)

@HistEnvScot Hi @HistEnvScot. Difficult to isolate individual words on here but it’s a religious inscription - 4th line shows the name of the Prophet Muhammad ”محمد". The date at the bottom reads 1164 - assuming that’s the Islamic calendar, this would be 1750/1 CE. Happy to help further !

I took a trip yesterday to Duddingston Loch and its wildlife reserve in #Edinburgh. What an incredible place - beautiful, calm and serene! My impressions here: https://t.co/EWXNH1NHBv @HistEnvScot @ScotWildlife

Earth, Wind and Water - Union Canal really is its own #conservation bubble and #ecosystem. And you wouldn’t think that I’m on top of the #Edinburgh bypass as I took the picture. @scottishcanals

EXCLUSIVE - @edinburgh unveils a new tourism strategy aimed at winning back the support of its residents, & en-suring its heritage is “cherished and cared” and that it remains an authentic “living, working city.”

Why would you need a stage when you can have those beautiful autumn leaves in #Edinburgh ?- sunburst #guitar blending in really well! And also shows why you need those green spaces in cities #conservation

I am looking forward to seeing how this project of @thomasjfeige plays out over the coming months - already some new perspectives on familiar places

[Iscotlanda @iscotlanda]

@adamfuturepast Thanks very much and I’ll be sure to share regular photos from the portfolio - just added the first couple here https://t.co/bo99P7MQoE. And thanks also for @EdinburghWH for helping to promote the project !

[Iscotlanda @iscotlanda]

Batten down the hatches! #Edinburgh #rain #itshere
