Athens of the North

Edinburgh opens up in layers: rooftops and towers in the distance, stone columns against a changing sky, and green slopes beyond the city. These photographs move from broad views to quieter architectural spaces, following the lines that give the skyline its character. A tower rises above the trees, while a courtyard draws the eye towards its orderly windows and closely cut lawn. Together, the images reveal the city’s open horizons and enclosed spaces, with warm stone, summer greenery and cloud moving through the frame.
