The end of the festivals

The International Festival Firework display signals the end of the Festival season in Edinburgh for almost another year (there is still the Christmas festival to bring the tourists back into town). The display is usually full of large explosions but this year it seemed to be a lot more tranquil in keeping with the music that accompanied them.

So now the tourists leave town and Edinburgh turns into a small hamlet for a couple of weeks until we get the influx of students that liven the city up until Christmas..
