#027 Electric Blue

Edinburgh

One of the many glassy new building sprouting up around Edinburgh's West End. (Actually this one has been there a good while but we're allowed a little bit of artistic leeway in the interests of a good storey aren't we !)
The whole of the city centre seems to be spreading west rejuvinating once run down areas.
In defence of the developers there is some good work being done with new pedestrian plaza's, open public space and most importantly some trendy new bars !

Great picture. That security guard goesn't seem too bothered by you taking a pic of his building. Don't know that part of town but keep meaning to take the camera and try some shots in the old town...

Cool lighting.

Don't worry folks, there was nothing much nice there before. Nice old buildings tend to get kept around here.

You go tell them to stop right now...at least until I get to see all the older buildings !! :>)

Beautiful, I especially like this because that is my favorite shade of blue's.

Wow.. it looks like if anyone who enters this might end up in some other world.. the lighting is very cool

The blue is beautiful! Was something torn down for this modern looking building?

Cool, the blue lights really stand out. Looks smart.
