There are lots of characterful bridges along the Water of Leith. This one take you to the stairs up to the Gallery of Modern Art (which has wonderful art exhibitions and a lovely cafe, which serves delicious cakes.) I took this photo a couple of days ago, there were blue tits playing in the cherry blossom trees and several orange tip butterflies flying around. It's also apparently a really good place to see kingfishers, though I've never seen one here!For Sunday Bridges
Oh, that looks (and sounds) wonderful. I really must find this walk next time we're over your way.
ReplyDeleteGreat bridge post.

I like the arch on the other side, it's very welcoming, you can actually see the lettering more easily in the reflection. I would love to walk around here.
ReplyDeleteLovely place for a peaceful walk across the bridge.
ReplyDeletethe water is so still underneath. I like the idea of taking this bridge to a cafe with delicious cakes....
ReplyDeleteI am building up such a picture of the Water of Leith that I really must plan a visit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely footbridge to the gallery...such a treat to walk on it each time you visit the gallery. Lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite a lovely corner of the river to sit and rest a while.
ReplyDeletethis lovely - a bridge into the greenery.... and cakes.
ReplyDeleteWow! It's beautiful...a bridge leading to paradise...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, just beautiful. I can't wait to see your video haiku...sounds great. I think they might pair nicely with the bird footage, actually...
ReplyDeleteSpring is in the picture!
ReplyDeleteI've walked many bridges
To get from here to there.
Sometimes here is better,
sometimes it is there.
But this bridge that goes to the cake
Is the one that I'ld prefer!
Yay, more Hornbeams that are accessible on your previous post. Next time I'm in Scotland I'll have to check out this Water of Leith...so many interesting features!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful place to walk and to be able to see the birds about.
ReplyDeleteSpring must be lovely there.
Happy Easter
