Sunset at Portobello beach, Edinburgh
Welcome to my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I was at Portobello beach earlier this week around 11pm hoping to taking photos of the illumination of Cockenzie Power Station as part of the 3 Harbours Festival taking place until Sunday 8 June 2008. However it wasn’t dark enough and I wasn’t close enough to get any decent shots of the illuminations. However there was a beautiful sunset in the other direction.
The light pollution detracts from the wonderful colours so I decided to crop another photo to get rid off this. I’m not sure which photo is better, what do you think?
Many visitors forget that Edinburgh has a seaside at Portobello. It’s well worth a trip to Portobello, which is easily reached by bus from the city centre. It’s one of my recommendations for getting off the beaten track in Edinburgh.
