Leith Links Summer

About this memory
During the early summer days, the longest days of the year, I would go out after sunset for walks around the park. These are quiet times, which allow me to admire the area and capture the loneliness and eerie feeling. I used a digital camera and a tripod, as I was trying to capture detail from the highlights (moon and street light). The contrast between the sky and the lights from the buildings adds to the sensation of being alone and having the park for myself.
