Alasdair and I had a great three day trip to Edinburgh. It was my first visit to the festival in 20 years. Kinda guilty about this as it is perhaps the finest thing we do in Scotland. Anyhow we visited a number of stand up comedians and short plays all of which without exception were enjoyable. The plays of great note were Ian Dury "Hit Me" and Hamlet The Musical which was magnificent. Performed on the floor in front of us behind moving partitions and puppets and singing and rapid costume changes all in an hour.
Anyhow it was rich ground for street photography. It felt like people had dressed up and made up just for the photographers, which of course was not the case. But in the backdrop of the old city it was wonderful. Walking about and listening to street music and witnessing drama and circus acts and all the other sites and sounds.
