I love this city

Click through to see the large version on a black background. Trust me, it's worth it.

Taken by 0olong, from Edinburgh Castle. If you look at the bottom right (along the skyline) you can see a pair of floodlights which are attached to Meadowbank Stadium. I live just about there. on the left hand side you can see the big wheel is up for the Christmas Market (where I ate bratkartoffeln and julie drank hot chocolate on Sunday evening). And just behind the wheel is the Scott Monument, from which fyrie's awesome picture of Edinburgh Castle was taken.
