Looks like a rather narrow street in there, unless it's a one way road, which I suppose it is.

Yup its a one way road, now.

So you mean that it has been a two way road some time ago? I guess that parking wasn't allowed then.

Here's another Edinburgh street Scene

Used the curves tool to correct the brightness/contrast/colour of the buildings after masking out the sky.

Edinburgh seems like a beautiful city.

Almost as beautiful as Helsinki. ;)

It´s quite beautiful but dark... Italy has been the most beautiful place I´ve ever been in terms of architecture... It´s quite charming.

Fatal, why not posting some pics of Helsinki?. I´ve never seen anything of it.

Looks a cool place to grab some pictures, nice mixture of building styles.

Too bad they're taking many of the beautiful old buildings down to be replaced by glass cubes. Yuck.

Fatal, your place looks beautiful!... What´s that multi-dome building?. Why does your city remind me of Venice?...

Surely what I most like is the colour of the sky... Is it like that all the year?. Here we only have a sky like that in some winter days and makes everything look sad... In your place it looks really charming, somewhat sad but beautiful.

I don't think we'll see the sky very much in the winter, because of the 24/7 cloud newbies lagging in front of the sun. Those pictures all show a semi cloudy weather, so it's definatly not always like that.

And about the multi-dome building...
It's Helsinki's main church. I don't know what it's called in English, but if I translate it word by word, it would make "Doom church". *rofl*
