Rainbow over Edinburgh

Rainbow over Edinburgh

Rainbow over Edinburgh

An old friendship renewed. This photo is one of the first ones which I took 1994 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

It is also one of the first images on my Photo Web Site and interestingly enough the most popular single image there. So what would be better suited as a start for my new PhotoLog project here? ;-) So I went back to the original negative, scanned it again, did some perspective correction, and retouched some speckles. Even after all these years, I still like this particular image. It captures quite well the spirit of Edinburgh, a quiet, but beautiful metropolis (except – of course! ;-) – during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it is turned into a multicultural party), and the Scottish weather, which is always good for dramatic scenery. One moment heavy rain, then sunshine.
