A monochrome photograph in which the sky has been replaced with a grey-green block of colour. We are looking up at the Dugald Stewart Monument on Calton Hill, Edinburgh. According to Wikipedia, the monument is ‘a circular temple of nine fluted Corinthian columns around an elevated urn, on a circular podium’. To the left of the monument is an old building. The hillside below the monument is thick with vegetation.

Heich thochts.

High thoughts.
