...And after wandering around inside St Giles' Cathedral back in August, I wandered around outside, too.

A colour photograph in landscape format of St Giles' Cathedral.

The picture is taken looking up at a steep angle. The crown shaped spire is illuminated and is in the middle of the picutre to the right. The rest of the structure is darker, lit only with available light. There is a large stained glass widow dominating the image to the left, and several masonry pinnacles can be seen along the edges of the structure.

The sky behind the cathedral is a light purple in the dusk.A colour photograph in portrait format of St Giles' Cathedral.

The picture is taken looking up at a steep angle. The crown shaped spire is brightlyilluminated and is in the middle of the picutre to the left. The rest of the structure is darker. There is a large stained glass widow dominating the image to the right, and some panels within the window are shining with light behind, inside the cathedral. There are several masonry pinnacles along the edges of the structure.

The sky behind the cathedral is a purple-blue.

Eine atmosphärische Schwarz-Weiss-Aufnahme einer historischen Kopfsteinpflastergasse bei Nacht. Die nassen Oberflächen reflektieren das Licht der Strassenlaternen, was zu starken Kontrasten und einer tiefen Bildwirkung führt.

This is an excellent counter to Farage’s drivel about Glaswegians not speaking English as their first language.

Forth Bridge bei Nacht
Die ikonische Forth Bridge in Schottland, beleuchtet in warmen Orangetönen, durchbricht die Dunkelheit einer regnerischen Nacht. Die Szene wird durch die Reflexionen der Straßenlaternen auf dem nassen Pier atmosphärisch ergänzt.

Ihre markante rote Stahlkonstruktion leuchtet intensiv vor dem tiefschwarzen Himmel, während das Licht der Strassenlaternen auf dem nassen Pier und dem Wasser atmosphärische Reflexionen erzeugt. Die Aufnahme betont die monumentale Ingenieurskunst und die dramatische Stimmung der schottischen Küstenlandschaft.

Magnificent Ben More on the Isle of Mull, complete with its own weather system, seen from Pennyghael across Loch Scridain. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/mul

#Scotland #IsleOfMull #Mull #Pennyghael #BenMore

The image shows a loch with a stony shore extending from bottom left to further into the frame on the right in the foreground.  Beyond it is a blue loch and on the far shore of the loch the land rises steadily to a twin-peaked mountain in the background, with clouds forming over the peaks and heading off in three directions. The scene is in sunlight.

This seems to have started out as a simple, unassuming, grey wooden door — until the blacksmiths and masons took over and decided to show off.
A side door in the west front of St. Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall.
#DoorsDay #Orkney #Cathedral #Scotland

A narrow grey oak door composed of five vertical boards is embellished with enormous, elaborate iron hinges. A deep pointed arch frames the door. Built from alternating red and white carved sandstone blocks, the arch is wider than the door and gloriously gaudy. It is supported by three slim sandstone pillars on the right side. On the left there is a single pillar, plus a gap where at least two pillars used to stand.
