The organs of Saint Giles' Cathedral in the Royal Mile, Edinburgh.
Very lucky to get such a good shot as Cathedral interiors can be gloomy and a flash may not always give enough depth of illumination. But the light from the top of the organ dome added enough back lighting to bring the pipes in to clarity.
Here's a shot of the exterior, on the usual sort of overcast Scottish day. A foreboding presence...?
Brilliance and beauty inside, but gloomy and grimy outside... what a contrast.

Hi Mike, kind of nice to have you drop in , and to comment on my photo, coming from someone really noted in the photography field. Thanks.
I have to say that Edinburgh and Scotland was one of my favorite trips, That place with all the close's and underground city just stirs the imagination. The architecture through out was amazing. Roslyn's Chapel was superb! You could feel the history here all over. Such a great place.
We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a suite at our hotel that had a view of the Castle that was superb. This stirs great memories!!! Thanks!
Always nice to see a British church/cathedral photo during the festive season - even if we're not religious. :)
Have a fabulous Christmas/New Year/Holidays.
