Magnificent Edinburgh could not wish for better presentations than your sharp, clear, amazing photographs - love this one showing such gorgeous buildings - and with the sun shining down, it's so cheerful looking - even in black and white!
Great image brilliant quote
This is really well done. Straight out of the 1950's.

What a gorgeous photo - how I love seeing these magnificent buildings and streets of Edinburgh - they were made for black and white!
Still after all these years one of my favourite streets
Beautiful Victoria Street

Stunning photo! May I ask: Is that taken in the National Portrait Gallery?
Quite the stunning photo - whatever the location, it appears to be beautiful - love how the sunlight shines through the windows and gleams on the floor - and your quotes accompanying each shot are enjoyed, too!
Can I ask where this photo was taken?

“In the deepening spring of May, I had no choice but to recognize the trembling of my heart. It usually happened as the sun was going down. In the pale evening gloom, when the soft fragrance of magnolias hung in the air, my heart would swell without warning, and tremble, and lurch with a stab of pain. I would try clamping my eyes shut and gritting my teeth, and wait for it to pass. And it would pass –but slowly, taking its own time, and leaving a dull ache behind.”

Not the beginning of a lovely day - but still a beautiful photo - those huge, puffy clouds completely covering the skies are awesome - and what a view of the dark hills in the distance - the gently rippling waters and an endless line of the incredible, protective pillars (sorry - forgot what they're called) - love it!
The calm and the tempest.❤️❤️
Sounds like, feels like, (and looks like) today, Sunday, in eastern Ontario. I need another strong coffeeee
