Edinburgh From Up High

Today was a scorcher. Most of the week it's been about 12 degrees, we've been wearing jackets to and from work. Suddenly, a heat wave hit. Today it was about 25 degrees! Luckily we have casual at work, I was in shorts and t-shirt.

After work, Helen and I walked up Salisbury Crags. Helen had been up there before, but not me. It was about 7pm by this time, but the sun was still beating down on us rather hot. The view was interesting, lots of smog haze due to the lack of wind, and the sun was on its way down.

Getting photos was difficult, but made for some interesting effects. One photo is now the page header on this blog, heavily photoshopped to get it to look how it did through my sunglasses. Then there's this one, in which you can see the Forth Bridges in the distance.

It was 9pm by the time we came down, and it was still light then!
