BREAKING: ‘Dragon’ sighted over skies of Edinburgh
Just in time for the new season of Game of Thrones
Is it a dragon or the hand of God?
Earlier this month amateur photographer Tom Watson posted a picture he’d taken on his Facebook page which looked like a fire breathing dragon hovering over the skies of Edinburgh.
Tom, a junior doctor and Edinburgh Uni alumni, was attempting to photograph the Edinburgh skyline from Calton Hill, when the clouds shifted to form the image.
According to the Telegraph, Tom has since been bombarded with suggestions of what the shape could be, including “a phoenix rising from flames, a Klingon shop from Star Trek or even an angry pigeon”.
Tom, who runs the Spectacular Edinburgh Facebook page, then went on to say: “What I see most often is the ‘hand of God’ like quite a lot of other people do. I’m not incredibly religious so not sure about the God bit but can certainly see the hand.
“But then I can also see the dragon’s head and neck. It looks like it is breathing fire.”
He added: “Even the picture itself doesn’t do justice to how impressive the sky really was at that moment. It looked even more incredible in person.
“Moments after I took the picture, the heaven’s opened and I got completely drenched. However this picture was well worth getting soaked for.
“I’m really happy with the picture. As a doctor I don’t get a lot of time to take pictures so it’s great to capture one like this. I love photographing Edinburgh too – I just fell in love with the city when I came eight years ago.”
