#monovember2020

A series of monochrome images taken each day in November 2020, originally posted to my Instagram.

Looking up at bare tree branches with only a few leaves remaining

Almost bare

View along Middle Meadow Walk, bare trees on either side, the sun with lens flare in the middle of the sky

Middle Meadow Sunshine

The frame of a bike D-locked to a cycle stand, with the wheels and almost all components removed

Bits of a bike

many levels of scaffolding around a tower, in an almost pyramid shape

Scaffolding tower

A small window in the centre, concrete steps just below the sill, and a scaffold pole on the right

Detail of stonework under a bridge, with a vertical metal support bar covered in lichen on the right

Under the bridge

Looking vertically down onto the edge of a seated road, two horizontal painted lines across the middle of the image, the kerbstone at the bottom and a few leaves between

Lines and leaves

Lots of radial cracks in a pane of glass, split into small shards and backlit by a completely white advertising TV screen

Shattered

A foggy scene in a graveyard, trees disappearing in the mist in the background, behind a wall with gravestones. An old fashioned lamp is on the right, shining

Dimly lit

A pathway lined on both sides with cherry trees, all leaning to the left. There are still leaves on the trees, but also on the ground

Angled Avenue

Close up of a Mannequin in a shop window, face covered with newsprint, wearing glasses, hat, shit & jacket. A chandelier with 4 lights is hanging on the right along with a paper spiral

Mannequin

A gully with a diagonal grating, completely filled with leaves

🍁[]🍁

A 5 storey building with large windows, most of them are lit

Tenement Windows

Mostly grey sky, with patterns of light among the cloud cover, some trees are visible along the notion

Clouds from the Links

Graffito in the style of scrabble letters, the word LOVE across the middle intersected by YOUR & SELF vertically

Love your self

Out-of-focus motion-blurred image looking down on leaves, a foot and leg visible at the bottom kicking the leaves

Kicking leaves — the best part of autumn

Detail of the striped bark of a tree

Stripes

The stone wall of the Museum of Scotland, a section jutting out in the middle, above a series of irregular columns

Museum Wall

The extended boom of a mobile access platform, neatly framing above a Christmas tree

Decoration platform

A singular tree with bare branches, the Firth of Forth and the distant Leith shoreline at the bottom of the image

Bare branches

Spiked grass plants backlit against a dark background

Backlit plants

A dressed stone wall with two '6 over 6' sash windows. There is a railing in front, with a lamp post and lamp between the windows

Lights. Windows. Wall

Looking down at a painted cycle track sign, leaves lying on the left partially obscuring it. There is tactile paving along the bottom of the image.

Leaf cycle

A round mirror, reflecting Christmas decorations including wire frame globes covered in lights

Circles of light

Stone setts with large gaps between, arranged in an arc around the bottom right corner

Sunlit setts

reflections in a glass wall of other glass-fronted multi-story flats

Flat reflections

Bare branches coming down from the top, with a clump of 3 leaves in the middle. Other distant bare trees visible below

Last leaves

A fenced of section of street, 2 tram lines being constructed with shuttering a rebar laid, awaiting concrete.

Transition to trams

A road laid with stone setts, streetlight faintly reflecting of the rain covered tops

Shiny Setts

Looking up at a building, the word RESTAURANT painted at the top, a neon sign with MONO in the middle, the letters overlapping slightly
