Viscount Melville who bides on Melville St was checking out the moon that will rise tomorrow (Sunday) evening totally eclipsed by Earth's shadow - keep yer eyes peeled

The Party's Over - at sunset last night Scots gathered to wave a fond farewell to our festival guests - looking back over their shoulders they could see a message written in ancient Celtic Fireoglyphics - Haste Ye Back (but BYOB) @edfringe.bsky.social

Sun behind Dugald Stewart & Nelson mons last night with Forth Bridges as background. High cirrus clouds made exposure difficult so will try again on a clearer night - a compelling view requires worrying a bone until really chewing into the marrow for photography satisfaction. #Edinburgh #Scotland

this is a fantastic wee church that should be on your bucket list

the Forth Road Bridge Greenpeace protest is now over but was one of the more imaginative protests I've seen - nice to see my pic in Edinburgh Minute

The Nelson Monument has been uncovered after a brush and scrub up. The historic Time Ball dating back to 1853 will once again be dropping at precisely 1pm to allow sailors to set their ships' chronometers. @edinburghwh.bsky.social

The Greenpeace protestors hanging from the Forth Road Bridge were getting all cosy in their hammocks as the sun was setting - guess they'll be there a while then. @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social

Sunset behind Fort Kinnaird - you're better out shooting images than shopping I reckon

Nice to see the Bruntsfield rainbow pic on EM today

Hundreds of white butterflies flitted in & around the crops dancing drunkenly between flower heads. Thistle in sights I waited hopefully & was rewarded with two at the same time. I think they're Large Whites or Cabbage Whites - Love the contrast of delicate & thorny #Butterflies #Thistle #Scotland

The Top 20 over here tinyurl.com/TDTop20July1...

I planned this shot about 2 years ago and didn't get the chance to follow through, so it was especially pleasing to get this sunset shot at Bamburgh Castle last night. I loved the bonus woollen content. #Northumberland

Windy sunset last night at Saltburn with a view of the Redcar Wind Farm #WindTurbines #WindEnergy @edfenergyex.bsky.social @teesstudentlife.bsky.social

Buck Buddies - the full Buck Moon rises behind Paisley's Coats Memorial & John Neilson Institution Last night's moonrise was spectacular - congratulations to all graduating today at @uniwestscotland.bsky.social @stmirren.com @visit-scotland.bsky.social Prints over here: tinyurl.com/TDPrints

The Dunbar Shags Would be a great name for a band - what sort of music would they play @rspbscotland.bsky.social ? #Shag #EastLothian

After the sun set last night the sky began to glow as if someone was blowing on the ashes of a near spent fire. The fire spread wider, the glow intensified, forming flame-like shapes & faded back to twilight blue again. Tantallon Castle & Bass Rock as the hidden breath puffed at its most intense.

Oh, passed 4,000 followers on here! Cheers folks. Thanks to everyone who helps spread the word about Edinburgh’s newsletter 💚

Flying into the fire - last night's sunset west of Edinburgh
