    Works well using the "cross-eyed" method.
  • Necessary Lunch said:
    Oh wow. Fantastic.

    It's inside out 3D for cross-eye. You need to view it with the parallel eye method. There is a website that will convert this to cross-eye format and anaglyph for red-cyan 3D glasses.

    The perspective of this view is odd - it looks as though the road descends towards the west.

    What a wonderful series of photos. It looks quite unchanged, and is one of the loveliest walks, from Holyrood to the Castle. :) Wish I were there now!
  • inquisitive hope said:
    Yes, I do wish I was here also. I have a lovely memory of this though.

    awesome!
  • David Badagnani said:
    I'd like to know the story behind this picture--why does this sheep have a name, and why was a photograph of him commissioned? Is he particularly eminent or distinguished in some way?
  • David Badagnani said:
    OK, just found the link above: " Shown here is the most common variety of sheep in the Scottish Borders and Highlands - the Scottish Blackface. Their wool is highly prized for its hardwearing qualities and the Blackface horns add a distinctive look to walking sticks and shepherds' crooks. Photographs of livestock were not uncommon during the turn of the century, as landowners took pride in their husbandry. The side view gives us a clear idea of the physical qualities of the breed: the long thick fleece, the curvy horns, the black face and the magnificent posture. "
