Castle and Fountain
This is my very first attempt at HDR. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.
A view of Edinburgh castle with the Ross Fountain taken from West Princes Street gardens.
Edinburgh Castle dominates the city of Edinburgh like no other castle in Scotland, and Edinburgh Castle is unequalled in the whole of the British Isles. Over one thousand years of history sit on top of the famous Edinburgh rock
Princes Street Gardens at the heart of Edinburgh’s City Centre were once a lake called Nor’ Loch. The Loch, which had been the trash dump of Edinburgh for centuries was drained in order to improve access from the New Town to the Old Town. Later, the Nor’ Loch was transformed into the beautiful Princes Street Gardens we see today.

Ohhhhhh … you have outdone yourself with this Tom. Not only is the fountain a beautiful work of art but the castle up on the hill in those gray clouds … well, it is like a beautiful, mystical dream. I want so much to come back and see this for myself. Thank you .. thank you so much for sharing this.
