Tynemouth Beach

Beautiful sunny afternoon at Tynemouth. Views of beaches, old swimming pool, fulmar and people enjoying the location.

Tynemouth Market

 We took the bus to Tynemouth and visited the market in Tynemouth Metro station. IT is a great setting for the market and there were lots of interesting people and views to be taken.

More Dogs

A Pomeranian, Greyhound and Whippet/Saluki cross all in full flight - literally in the case of the greyhound.
The Spaniel shows the effect of shaking the head hard on floppy jowls and the Border Terrier is just enjoying the sea

Fish Quays

Here are a few images from Fish Quays early in the morning. The first image is taken at f2.8 and the second, a bit later as the light improved, at f18 giving more definition to the light sources. The Fish Quays themselves I thought ooked good as monochrome.

To Gateshead and back via South Shields

Yesterday, I took the Metro to Newcastle, walked down to the Quay and along to the Millennium Bridge. A coffee in the Sage Centre then back over the bridge to Newcastle and the Metro to South Shields. The Metro ticket works on the Ferry to North Shields so I crossed the Tyne and then walked back via the Fish Quays to Tynemouth. Shame there wasn't a bit more light around.

Tynemouth to Alnwick

Yesterday I was taken on a very enjoyable tour of the coastline between Tynemouth and Alnwick - many thanks to Brian and Joan for their company and forbearance on a grey and drizzly afternoon. Here are a few images showing the very soft pastel shades that were achieved (with a bit adjustment in Lightroom!) .

Today onTynemouth Beach

Definitely the cutest puppy on the beach today, along with her companion. Both are

chihuahua crosses.

Saturday afternoon

Tynemouth Station hosts an indoor market every Saturday and Sunday - a wonderful miscellany of stalls.
A visit to Blyth beach with its Battle emplacement, beach huts and wind turbines was very enjoyable in warm September sunshine.

Toy Museum

Wonderful collection of Toys in this Museum on Tynemouth front. The owner was there to chat to and has been collecting toys into this museum for 20 years. Gave me a chance for a lot of nostalgia - even found some Bayko - my favourite toy as a kid.
