    The kid clearly moved instead of staying still for the photo!

    This has happened I think to all of us trying to capture children. They move and you end up with an image much like this one. What an honor it is to view these images from the 1800's. So impressed with the quality and integrity of the images taken over a hundred years ago.

    How many of our photos will be around in a hundred year's time?

    Hi, this photo has been mentioned in a discussion thread in the Flickr Commonsgroup, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool! -- Seen in a discussion of Flickr Commons. (?)

    So happy I'm not the only one with a child that moves during picture's. But even beyond that the expressions on their faces tell the story as well.

    I think i'm right in saying that this was before the sphinx was excavated a bit (because we can't see its legs) and before it was damaged some more by troops using it as target practice in the war

    The perspective of this view is odd - it looks as though the road descends towards the west.
  • Over the Top of NY said:
    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.
