New icon for Edinburgh posts, though I may work on it some more.

One of the first Valentine cards I sent was a postcard of the Forth Bridge. Bridge/Bridget, a clue, you see? I never found out if he knew it was me.

Great piccie! Pity about the black rain clouds (standard issue)in the background. Definitely still cooler than the Golden Gate!

Well, it was June, we couldn't have expected sunshine :-)

I kind of liked the International Orange Bridge, though not as much as London Bridge in Arizona.

that's from the front at South Queensferry! Go about a mile uphill and you're at my old bedroom (http://www.flickr.com/photos/covert/336604005/ ...)

Yes - it was at my cousin's wedding, the son of my aunt and uncle who live on Kirkliston Road. In between the wedding breakfast (at 3pm - why do they call it "breakfast"?) and the evening do at Orocco Pier we walked out to look at the bridges.

Orocco Pier? Grrr. (Queensferry Arms, dammit. That's what it always was when it was an underage drinking den. :) )

Serious reason: first meal of the marriage (breaking the marriage fast)...

Ah, that explanation makes sense.

It can be an odd feeling, looking at a photograph and knowing that you have stood in the same place and looked at the same view, separated from the other photographer in space and time. I got that feeling from some of your SF photos.

I hope you are recovered from your travels and travails?
