Edinburgh Castle Sunset


On Sunday evening we visited Calton Hill in Edinburgh which gave us some great views of Scotland's capital city.  One of the most iconic sights in Edinburgh is the world famous castle that sits high above Prince's Street on it outcrop of volcanic rock. 

As the sun was setting in the west and the sky turned orange and red, the castle was silhouetted against the bright sky, providing me with a different view of this much photographed landmark.

Fitting the Fujinon XF55-200mm telephoto zoom to the X-T1 I captured a series of images including these two I have used for this blog.  The one at the top of the page shows Edinburgh Castle in its entirety, while to the shot below shows the clock tower on the Balmarol Hotel to the left and the top of the Scott Memorial to the right while concentrating on a small part of the castle buildings.
