A wanderer in galleries and graveyards but a street photographer at heart.
Took a stroll around the Scottish National Gallery today,
here we have the Portrait of Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) by Giovanni Battista Gaulli (Il Baciccio) next to the bust of Monsignor Carlo Antonio dal Pozzo, Archbishop of Pisa (1547-1607) by Bernini.

I'm not in Marchmont very often so only spotted this ghost sign on Argyle Place this morning, looks like one of the signs on the Argyle Bar has come down.

Wasn't expecting to see Eduardo Paolozzi's "Master of the Universe, 1989" outside the Scottish National Gallery today, he usually sits by the entrance to Modern Two on Belford Road!

Sad to see the recently uncovered ghost sign above The Elephant House on George IV Bridge being painted over.
