golden boy

Another glorious day. Wednesday, work into town. I took my big camera to see if I can spot some beasties in Princes St Gardens - plenty of orange tips and the other usual suspects (see extra). I also checked out the progress of the Ross Fountain (see other extra). I think it will look great but it will be very difficult to take photos of. After dinner I went for a quick wander up the Radical Road to scout for some panorama locations. Great light, but the perspective will be quite tricky.

On top of the Old College roof (the one in the middle) is a golden statue of a boy - hence the name. Apparently, students climbed the roof on a number of occasions to put a T-shirt on the boy.
