The Architecture

One of my favourite things about the city. Sometimes I think I could be a photographer of buildings alone, and find total satisfaction in this. It is important to go slowly in the city sometimes, and take in the buildings around you. Sometimes if you don't look up, you can be missing a lot. In Aberdeen, it is often the case that you need to look up, but in Edinburgh it is hard to miss the majestic architecture. Here are some of my shots of buildings. I hope to take plenty more in the future.

Arriving into Edinburgh on the train at night, the buildings that can be seen from the station look spectacular
