View On Black Meeting up with a few friends in Edinburgh I had half an hour or so to kill, this area was closed and gated off as the workers had gone home for the day, a quick hop over and the the tripod was soon set up, had some great fun for 20 minutes or so, nobody batted an eyelid.... when I got set up I loved how the statue seems to be pointing and 'directing' the traffic. The fog here today was the worst I'd ever seen in Scotland, from 10am it did not lift once. If you can't beat it, use it to your advantage . . .
