Sorry about the slow update, but I tried to make this post last night and forgot about blogger being down for some scheduled maintenance.
I took this shot a couple of nights ago while killing some time before meeting someone. My wander confirmed that I'm finding it incredibly difficult to find night scenes at the moment that I want to photograph. Not necessarily because I don't like the look of the scene, but because the dynamic range is often way off the scale. I know I could blend a couple of exposures if I wanted to, but I prefer to avoid that if at all possible. So I ended up only taking pictures at 2 scenes, which, for an hour and a half, seemed almost like a waste of time.
Anyway, self induced moan over!
Having said all of the above, I'm actually quite pleaseed with this shot. I think this may be another one of those shots that I don't think many people will be particularly taken by, but feel free to change my mind! This was taken at the opening to a fairly hidden lane in Edinburgh and the sign grabbed my attention as I was walking by.

Ugh. I haven't been out to shoot allllll week. :(
It's a cool shot. But I think it lacks a bit of you normal brilliant composition. The fence and the stairs draw the eye about the frame, but the right side of the image feels a tad like wasted space.
0.02, and I'm sure someone else will feel quite differently than me, but it's not my favorite scene you've shot. ;)
You have captured Edinburgh well - it is full of these hidden gems.
Wow! That looks so surreal... Almost like a backdrop or stage setting for a play or something.
Great picture!
I like it, and it does look like a hidden gem. Its nice that the area/steps have a name.
Thanks for all the comments - apologies for my slow responses these days!
