30th birthday celebration in Edinburgh. I got the most drunk I've ever been to this day. I thought it would be hilarious to piss off George IV Bridge onto the Cowgate below. Friday night. Must have hit someone. So ashamed.

Edinburgh Cowgate 19th century

#scotland #history #edinburgh #urbanphotography #moody
A detailed, early 19th-century black and white engraving captures a bustling street scene in the Cowgate area of Edinburgh, viewed under a massive stone arch bridge. A narrow, cobblestone street, brightly lit by a beam of sunlight on the left and falling into deep shadow on the right, leads the eye through the arch. Towering stone tenement buildings with multi-paned windows flank both sides of the street, rising up towards a hazy sky. On the left, a solitary figure with a cane and a shoulder bag stands facing away. Through the arch, further up the winding street, several groups of people in period clothing are engaged, one cluster gathering around a horse-drawn cart. A prominent decorative lamppost or sign bracket is visible on the right wall under the arch. On top of the arch, on the bridge level, an iron-railed walkway is visible with two small figures in top hats strolling, and the hint of another carriage. The overall impression is one of depth and aged urban life, defined by the scale of the bridge against the tall buildings and the play of light. The detailed cross-hatching and dot work give a rich, textured feel.
