Dunbar Street Art Trail 2016

Image
Yesterday I attended the second edition of the Dunbar Street Art Trail, which MacLean Photographic had been invited to display - CLICK HERE . The west end of Dunbar High Street was closed to traffic and turned over to artists, jugglers and musicians and boards where visitors were invited to get creative and also chalk to decorate the street. I was only able to attend in the morning before catching train to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival but I was able to capture some of the flavour of the 2016 Dunbar Street Art Trail. All the images were captured on the Fujifilm X-Pro2 with either the Fujinon XF90mm f2 or the Samyang 8mm f2.8 lenses. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BLOG BY VISITING THE ADVERTISERS ON THIS PAGE By clicking on the adverts y...

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival

Image
One of the reasons for our move from Grantham to Dunbar was to be near the coast but another draw was Dunbar's location close to Scotland's capital city Edinburgh.  August is the month that Edinburgh becomes home to the Fringe Festival, one of the world's biggest music, theatre, comedy and arts festivals.   Part of the Royal Mile near St Giles Cathedral is closed off and becomes the hub of the Fringe where you can find out what is going on and where and also be entertained by street artists.  We walked up and down collecting leaflets and talking to some of the people to determine what we will want to go and see during the next few weeks and here are some of the images from our first afternoon in Edinburgh.
