Edinburgh

A pitch-perfect blend of technique and poetry... The composition is instantly eye-catching, with the pale blue vastness of the sky contrasting with the densely stacked buildings -- a striking jumble of overlapping roofs, windows and chimneys. The warm light and mellow colours create a late-afternoon, reverie-inducing atmosphere : the ideal mood to watch the flight of those faraway birds, wondering what they make of the city of ancient stone they leave behind them. Truly beautiful.
