Festival City

The riches of the Edinburgh Festival! This afternoon I saw exhibitons of:
Marijke van Warmerdam (remarkable video of milk being poured into a glass of water and sending out filaments of white in fantastic patterns);
Toulouse-Lautrec and his contemporaries' posters;
the Scottish twentieth-century artist Anne Redpath;
Ron Mueck's remarkable sculptures of human figures, super-realistic except totally out of scale;
and almost all of Elsheimer's paintings.
All of this within about 400 yards of the station at which I arrived.
