Huge soap bubbles in Princes Street Gardens
The two sticks hold aloft two strands of thick soft cord soaked in bubble solution, one short and one long. When the sticks are pulled apart a sort of hoop is formed between the two strands, and slight wind or movement can balloon out extremely large long bubbles. I would have liked to see just how long these large sausage shaped bubbles could last, and whether they would separate into a string of bubbles, or simply shrink into one gigantic bubble.
But as usual the competitively destructive children outnumbered the co-operatively scientifically curious :-)
The bubble surfaces shimmered with iridiscent reflections. Very hard to catch in a photograph, not sure why.
Photographed at the western end of the eastern section of Princes Street Gardens, just by the Art Gallery.
