Up Blackford Hill

I love Edinburgh.   I love looking over it.   One of my favorite Edinburgh views is from up Blackford Hill, with Arthur's Seat towering over it all.   Like so:
 

In the right light, Blackford Hill itself is very pretty too.

Blackford Park

There's a little group of trees in Blackford Park that I always think look very dramatic against the skyline.   Whenever I go there the light seems to be wrong for photographing them, and this visit was no exception.   With this shot I tried to compensate by taking an HDR photo.   It sort of worked.   I think I got an image that looks OK, though I still want to go back in better light and have another attempt.
