    another great capture Agnes, When I was about 18(a Hundred Years ago) I came down Castle hill & into Princes street on a motor Bike, & was stopped by a policeman & fined on the spot for speeding .

    So although your capture gets a 10 out of 10 Edinburgh gets a thumbs down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LOL! Bet you didn’t try that again. Thank you, Malcolm. Agnes xx

    Wonderful image Agnes. Love the effects and colours. Would make a terrific subject for a painting.

    Thank you kindly, Orla, and thanks for the favourite. Yes, I agree. Now, if only I could paint. LOL. Agnes xx

    Orla Cahill

    You should try it….and if you don’t feel confident enough about it join a painting class. You would really enjoy it. If you have the ability and creative eye enough to see a good composition like this I’m quite sure there’s a painter lying there under the surface somewhere. :)

  • Agnes McGuinness

    Agnes McGuinness

    Thanks, Orla. I often think about it. Maybe spring will make me want to get up and do it. Agnes xx
