Awesome photo dear Matt. Are you sure that the photo was taken from the island though standing below the bridge?

Thanks Manuel. No, the camera location is slightly wrong, it’s taken from the south side of the bridge in Queensferry looking straight back across. Sorry for the confusion

Hey Matt, thank you for the info. Feel free to edit this spot or simply re-upload the photo by adding it to an existing spot. I saw that there is one already located down there but wasn't sure if your photo might have been taken from somewhere else. Anyway, a really impressive b&w photo!
