Longstone Lighthouse
Longstone Lighthouse is an active lighthouse located at Longstone Rock off the coast of Seahouses in Northumberland UK. It was originally called Outer Farne Lighthouse.
Steam powered
A section from one of the original steam trains that hauled coal waggons across the north east of England. This engine is now restored and can be seen at Stephensons Railway Musem in North Shields.
The Sage, Gateshead
The Sage Gateshead is named after a local company who donated large sums of money to it’s total cost of £70 million. It has been dogged by building problems which dragged on for years and in 2011 had a deficit of over £300,000.
Grass
This grass grew so unusually high that I was easily able to shoot it with the sky as a backdrop.

Coniston

The Campanile, Venice
The campanile dominates the skyline rising up from St Mark’s square in Venice. Amazing views can be had from the top over Mestre on the mainland and out to Punta Sabbioni in the east. St Mark’s square forms a central point of the Venice islands for locals and tourists alike.
Lake tree
I came across this tree living happily on the side of the lake. The way the light was it created a great reflection and there was a lovely reflection from the land in the background too. It looked slightly surreal to me so I thought it would make a nice picture.lake, tree, reflection
Cat Bells
As the sun sets behind Catbells and Causey Pike in the Lake District, two ducks paddle their way across Derwentwater to find their roosting place for the night.
Newlands valley

Forth rail bridge
An early morning sun lights up the Forth rail bridge in Fife, Scotland. Early sailors set off under the bridge in the strong winds.
Windblown
Trees that have been windblown through out their growth bend away from it’s biting chill.
Sunburst
A couple out walking on Harlech beach, with their daughter and dog, seem oblivious to the amazing sunbeams coming through the clouds to illuminate the beach and the sea.
The Best Seat
Between Harlech village and the beach is Harlech golf club. One of their benches has this awesome view on a summers morning, as the sun rises over the Snowdonia mountains.
Harlech, N Wales
Another sunrise, a warm red and orange sunrise, lights up the mountains behind Harlech in north Wales.
Harlech
The sun slowly rises toward the hills behind Harlech, north Wales.
Cloud burst
There’s never two identical sunsets, no matter how many times you watch the sun go down. On this occasion there was a huge rain cloud and some haze which all diffracted the light from the sun in various ways, creating these beautiful rays of varied colours.
Waves
Waves are well known for their soothing effect, not just the sound but the colour, the shape and the constancy of them. This image perfectly captures the gamut of pleasure waves have to offer.
Vanishing
On a hot, hazy day in summer you’d be forgiven for thinking that the world just disappears out at sea, as the haze slowly reduces visibility and creates a surreal landscape.
Sunset
Walking along the cliff top I was watching the sunset and as I walked I saw that it was going to shine between two outcrops of rock and create a highlight on the water. I waited at the right spot to get the shot and this is it.
Pebble beach
A lone woman walks along the pebble beach at Newgale in south Wales. The beach is very difficult to navigate due to the stones which stretch for about 100 metres to the sea and cover an area about 400 metres long.
Tenby harbour
Tenby harbour is almost like stepping back in time. Everything about it is old and characterful but it has a greta charm and is undeniably pretty.
What a tangled web we weave
A spider had managed to create a web in a gap in a thickly branched bush. I saw the web limned with light from the moon and thought it provided a great picture.
Gallop
A woman takes her horse for an early morning ride along the Seaburn beach at Sunderland, as the rising sun lights the North sea.
Newcastle quayside
From the bottom of the Side, you can get a view of the Tyne bridge and St Mary’s church on the hill in the distance.
Lincoln cathedral
This is a view of one of the main towers of Lincoln cathedral.
Sun light
As the sun goes down over the Irish sea off the coast of Angelesey in North Wales, the lighthouse at South Stack comes on, warning shipping if nearby hazards. The quality of this light attracted me into taking the shot.
Anglesey
A herring-gull sweeps low over the water as the last dying rays of a golden sun light it’s path to a late supper. Captured off Anglesey, North Wales.
Newcastle quayside
This view looks down the quayside toward the Tyne Bridge, from just opposite the new Millenium Bridge.
Under the boardwalk
This monochrome image is a view from the lower level of the harbour wall at Whitby, North Yorkshire. The disused lighthouse can also be seen between the wood pillars.
South stack
The sun goes down off Anglesey in North Wales, silhouetting South Stack lighthouse against the horizon.
Hire me
A deck chair hire hut is closed despite a bright sunny day on an empty beach, due to it being out of season.
Tyne bridge
The Tyne bridge crosses from Gateshead into Newcastle on Tyne, spanning the mighty Tyne river and dwarfing the buildings below it on the quayside.
Play misty for me
South stack lighthouse shines it’s beacon as a thick wall of sea mist rolls in toward the coast, obliterating all visual aids for sailors.
Silhouette
I caught this silhouette at Brimham Rocks in North Yorkshire as the sun was setting toward the end of a long day.
Derelict
Another derelict boat sits on the shore of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in Northumberland, with the castle in the distance.
The Guardian
Every day at dusk the lighthouse begins it’s show, warning sailors of the dangers they face should they come too close. Beautiful in sunset, there lurks beneath the beauty a savage land and unforgiving sea only too keen to reap careless souls.
Sundown
The sun goes down over a moored rowing boat at Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey, north Wales.
Kippers
This traditional street in Whitby, north Yorkshire, leads visitors to the old kipper smoke house which has been in constant operation for generations. The smell as you walk this street is mouth watering.
Whitby Pier
Whitby pier is not so much a blend of old and new, but more a celebration of old, having changed hardly at all since Nosferatu landed at the harbour. I’ve processed this image to reflect that ‘time gone by’ feel.
Dog walk
A solitary dog walker on Seaburn beach in Sunderland. The late morning sun struggles to burn off the cloud.
Garden
This storm lantern had been left neglected in a corner of a garden for many decades and had become home to many spiders and other insects.
On reflection
These wood stakes or posts were probably part of an old long gone jetty. They remain upright in the water and on a still day they are reflected as if in a mirror, so that you can barely tell which way is up. Taken at Derwent water, Keswick, in the English Lake District.
Ice breaker
A man braves the early morning winter’s cold to canoe through the ice on Cumbria’s Derwentwater near Keswick.
Departure
A jet leave Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris at sunset, filled with unknown people, going to an unknown destination.
