Unreal city




Edinburgh on a night of haar* - an unreal city. On my walk home from work I kept thinking of T S Eliot's 'The Waste Land':

'Unreal city,

Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,

A crowd flowed under London Bridge...'

Below, St Giles Cathedral on the spine of the Royal Mile.





The tower on the right is part of New College, the University of Edinburgh's Divinity department. Behind it, the lights of a student hall of residence.





Waverley Station, complete with camera-shake (sorry!).





Princes Street gardens and the looming shape of the Scott Monument.





* haar - sea fog
