Title
Christmas Festival, Royal Mile, Edinburgh
Description
The Royal Mile is illuminated by star shaped streetlights during Edinburgh's Christmas Festival. The Radisson Hotel is awash with light whilst the spire of the Tron Kirk stands dark against the sky. Behind it the crown spire of St Giles Kirk and the spire of the Hub (formerly Tolbooth St John's Church) can be seen. The road is busy with vans and ghostly shapes of people are walking on the pavement. At the side of the road stand two red telephone boxes.
