With Arthur's Seat and Edinburgh in the background

A little late afternoon golf.

Saw this distant view of Edinburgh while on a walk from Aberlady to Gullane. It was a misty day and the sun was starting to set, which led to the nice silouhette of Arthur's Seat and Edinburgh Castle. The reason there is such a sharp contrast between the water and the background is because the water's horizon is quite a bit closer than Edinburgh, and the parts of Edinburgh you see here are high up (i.e. you can't see the actual coastline) and seen through mist. (i.e. I didn't just photoshop two images together here which, I admit, it does look a bit like i did!).

Liked this view as not only does it capture a bit of sea angling with the waves crashing in below, but also it gives a great view of the Bass Rock. Seacliff is just east of North Berwick, east Lothian. PS look how far the spray/foam is getting from the cliff!
