Forgot to post yesterday, so finishing #monovember with a double bill, but I did manage to take a picture every day.
Square monochrome photo of faced stone buildings, at the bottom is an entrance with a decorative lintel above, within which is written GLENOGLE BATHS. To the right, the edge of a taller building, and behind is a tall round brick chimney. Metal railings frame the bottom of the image, partially obscuring the entrance which is down an unseen flight of steps

Square monochrome photo of an urban canal, the towpath lights and modern buildings reflected in the still water. It is taken from near a bridge, so both sides are visible with a strong one-point perspective towards a dark building in the centre.

High contrast square monochrome photo of the University of Edinburgh main library building at night. 7 stories of almost regular lit windows, but a few rooms are not lit, and the top right is obscured by the bulk of the adjacent lecture theatre. In the centre foreground, a small puddle reflects some of the lights.

Square monochrome photo of a road junction at night. The carriageway is constructed from old stone setts, which are damp and reflecting the light of unseen cars near the top. The road surface is lumpy and damaged in places, with fragments of lines marking the junction and no parking around the edges

Square monochrome photo of the rear wheel of a bicycle, chained up in a tenement stair. The photo is centred on the wheel, with the verticals of the banister railings and bike seat stay, plus strong diagonals of the banister, paintwork behind, balanced by the bike’s seat tube and a bit of the banister going down in the lower left

Square monochrome photo of a spherical lamp on an ornate column, outside the Warrender Baths. Behind is the stone façade of the building, with a stepped gable above, and arched window partially obscured by the lamp. The sky is pale, as although the lights were on it was still dusk.

Square monochrome photo looking straight down at a puddle on the edge of the road. The left is bounded by a stone kerb, while to the right is a series of stone setts. Most of the photo is a puddle, with leaves of varying shapes and sizes under the water. The surface is spotted by circular ripples from rain drops.

Square monochrome photo of a tree lined river, sunlight glinting on the water. In the foreground fallen leaves litter the bank, and fingers of rock jut into the channel, causing a small white rapid to one side and a pool of calmer dark water below the outcrop.

Square monochrome photo of a modern building nearing completion. Large glass windows cover the lower 3 of 5 floors, with brick panels between. In front, 2 birch trees are set in the paving. A lone figure stands between them, their yellow jacket and black trousers contrasting nicely against the dark window and light paving. The cloudy sky is also reflected in the windows.

In the foreground a couple of birch trees have been planted in the paving.

High contrast square monochrome photo, looking down on part of a crate of roof slates. They are tightly packed, edge on, creating patterns of textured lines, with a dark hole in the middle (although offset to the top right of the image). A few fragments of broken slate are lying on top, breaking up the regular pattern.
