The rain came and went again and then the sun shone on and on and on. The colours brightened and burned in the warm light as Edinburgh enjoyed a beautiful August Sunday with fantastic fringe fancies of all shapes and sizes running amok in a somewhat marshalled chaos. Suddenly after the rain the whole High Street became a sun trap in which the crowds and performers could bathe in golden star light before they began to get ready for the evening’s stage bound limelight. After the crowds of the afternoon the centre of Edinburgh slowly breathes out and opens up again releasing performers and spectators to scurry away to venues and to find refreshments. The quiet of the evening leads to the still of the night. The silent shadows passed unnoticed by the last late leavers of the festival are filled with a potent promise that the return of the light will bring out again the pretty displays that attract all of the avid festival fans to fill the streets again.
