Northumberland Miscellany

A few more images from my recent trip to the Northumberland coast.

 


Finally a couple of shots taken at Northumberlandia, an old quarry that has been turned into a giant sculpture of a reclining woman.

St Mary's Lighthouse

Last week I spent a few days on the Northumberland coast visiting a friend and doing a little landscape photography.  The weather was somewhat mixed and I didn't achieve as much photographically as I was hoping.  I made a couple of visits to St Mary's Lighthouse, on the outskirts of Whitley Bay, once  for sunset and once for sunrise.  On neither visit was I gifted with a great sky.  On my sunset trip there was nothing but cloud.  For my sunrise visit, a couple of days later, the sky was clear except for a thin band of cloud on the horizon (the curse of seascape photos).  Still, I am quite pleased with the first image below, taken with the aid of a 10 stop filter.

Another Day Out In London

I was in London again on Saturday to visit the Lowry Exhibition at Tate Britain.  An excellent show, but far too crowded for something with timed entry tickets.  The weather was beautiful so naturally we also walked along the South Bank and naturally I had my camera.

Tree in a Field

Three shots of a tree in a wheat field.  Fairly self-explanatory really.
