Newcastle and Gateshead Photos – 12 February 2008

Back in February, I posted one picture from one of my walks to work. Well, I seem to have found a tuit, so here are some more. The first few are taken from Windmill Hills in Gateshead. On a clear day, the view from there is quite superb. You’ve got the river curving away past Dunston Staithes towards the MetroCentre on one side, and if you turn around you can see the whole of Newcastle City Centre spread out in front of you. The rest of the pictures concentrate on the bridges.

It was a bright, clear morning, with the sun low in the sky, which led to some quite pleasing contrasts between brightly-lit buildings on one side of the river, and deep shadows and frost on the other. All the pictures in this set were taken with my Sigma 10-20mm wide-angle lens.

Subject to tuit supply, more pictures may appear soon.
