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.
