The Edinburgh Festival is known for comedy but here's something serious, light-hearted and good for tourists every day of the year. Here's a great view of the elegant new Queensferry Crossing road bridge, taken in 2017
by KlausFoehl, in Wikipdedia. The clouds seem to be imitating and admiring the bridge.
My second favourite photo, or set of photos, is the one taken at night.

My third favourite view of Britain's highest bridge, near Edinburgh, is taken from one bridge showing all three bridges, the new one, the railway bridge and the Queensferry road bridge which the QueensFerry Crossing replaces.

A great video of the bridge being opened, changing colour, and a voice with a Scottish accent!
