Let The Light Out
Light breaks out and the night sky is lit up in an awesome display of starburst lighting from the seated area on Edinburgh Castle esplanade. The seating structure a spectacular arrangement in itself. As night falls the lighting beams out over the many national flags that stand proud reaching-out into the nigh skyline. Lucky ticket holders will have paid top dollar to invest in the best entertainment show the Festival period offers. What a night the each ticket holder will have in store, The Edinburgh Military Tattoo is renowned the world over as a top attraction during the Edinburgh International Festival.
Ticketed Event
Saturday events offer two performances during the evening.
Blood Moon Edinburgh - Longest Bloodmoon Eclipse over Edinburgh
Blood BridgeAlternative moon shot!
Bloodbridge 1, Bloodmoon 0
Well last night’s blood moon sighting over Edinburgh was non-existent, from my perspective anyway. By all accounts I don’t think there would have been many options to observe the astronomical event, regardless of location. With thunderstorms looming the skies where ideal for thunder and lighting images, something I was most definitely not geared up for. Nonetheless, my blood moon hunt didn’t go unrewarded, I left with a the Forth Bridge in a lovely shade of red.

Sometimes the unexpected just grabs you
Lo and behold, 48hrs later whilst out for a sunset over Edinburgh I was treated to red moon rising as I looked over the east coast. From my location on Blackford Hill the clouds offered that extra element to add that little bit of drama. Taking in Liberton, Midlothian to an East Lothian direction.

Magical Midlothian - Savanna Scotland
Lion King Tree Looky Likey
No, it’s not the Serengeti or Hell's Gate National Park in Kenya that the Lion King Movie was based around. In fact, it’s a tree found in Scotland UK. I took advantage of a setting summer sun to capture the most amazing sundown image over the grasslands of Bonnyrigg, Midlothian. What a glorious evening it was and a pleasure to watch nature just do its thing.

Should've Gone to Specsavers, Pick Your Own On Another Level
Foam & PowderQuench the fire with these red beauties.
Okay I’m taking it to another level, it’s that time of year again when picking your own fruit becomes an option. However, I didn’t go for the usual variety of strawberry this year. Not too sure when the fire extinguisher variety come into season, maybe I was just lucky, got this basket of assorted fire extinguishers on a beautiful day when the sun was out. Some crackers and decent sized ones in there too, you don’t get many of them to the pound!
