A Cold day.
I took these pictures at the Lochrin basin at the end of the union canal. The sun was just warm enough to melt the ice, but anything in the shade remained icy. Full size versions are available on Flickr

Pirates?
So I just happened to upload this picture on to my flickr pages in the early hours of the morning, not because of talk like a pirate day, but as part of my general sorting out of my photos taken over the Summer. However because of the pirate theme, it has made it's way onto the "Interesting" page on flickr!
This picture was taken at Melrose Abbey on the way back from Katherine and Colin's wedding, on a fine sunny day.
UPDATE: Thanks to http://www.syddware.com/cgi-bin/pirate.pl
A sea dog says 't this way:

Sunset down under.
We made it out the office early enough on Saturday evening to catch the sun going down on the beach. This is the wooden rollercoaster at Luna Park.

Sunrise down under
Still jet lagged, I woke up ridiculously early at 5am, and walked into the office as the sun was rising

Spring has arrived
We went on a cycle ride around town today in the Sunshine and Rachel spotted the blossoms on this tree. I definitely feel that spring is in the air, especially as we'll start to get more sunshine in the evenings when the clocks go forward tonight

Sunset Over the Forth and Union Canal
Sunset over the Forth and Union Canal This was taken from the Lemmington Lift Bridge, looking West. I caught the sun setting over the canal, I love the contrast of angular lines of the soon to be demolished brewery on the right and the raggard roof lines of the flats on the left.

My space...
It may be minor, but the profile Updated is shown as {ts '2007-02-06 13:06:06'}. The whole {ts ' '} thing shouldn't be displayed, this is just shoddy. Furthermore I just tried to run the same search and recieved an error:Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred. This error has been forwarded to MySpace's technical group.
So maybe they've taken down the serach facility to fix these kind of errors, but this isn't the first time that I've seen these errors and you would expect the quality of a site the size of myspace to be much better.

Google Earth Finally does Edinburgh...
Also of interest is the aerial view of of the Quartermile development. We can see how much of the area has been demolished and how much the area still has to be developed.
The winding areas of the castle is also well worth a look. The bandstands put up for the Edinburgh Tattoo is in evidence on the esplanade.
To open these files in Google Earth use these kml files: EdinburghCastle.kmz, Quartermile_Edinburgh.kmz, FairgroundonMeadows.kmz
