Edinburgh, you can just make out Arthur's Seat to the left on the middle horizon, Preston Pans Power station is right in the middle and the water is the Firth of Forth

NIKON D7000 1/250 second F/11.0 ISO 320 38 mm

Mostly I write books and other things that people pay me for. What I'd like to do is to take more photographs. Ideally I'd like to try combining the two at some point in the future. . .
