30 Jan. 2006 - Newbiggin

Another very bright and cold morning produced more good photo taking opportunities.

Photos of the church point at Newbiggin were needed as stock photos. We also had requests for more photos of Newbiggin on our Northumberland website so the two needs were combined into one visit.

This photo shows the Lifeboat Station and boat launching ramp.

One of the hardest frosts for a long time accompanied by bright sunshine made for great photo taking conditions.

A walk through the fields to Bothal was very pleasant and produced some good opportunities. We've taken many hundreds of photos at Bothal in all seasons and the different conditions always produce something new.

This photo shows Bothal Castle across the frosty fields.

We ran a survey on our Northumberland photo website asking which new locations people would like to see - Cambois and the Wansbeck area was asked for by a number of respondents.

So, a visit to Cambois Beach on a cold but sunny morning was needed.

This beach stretches from the River Wansbeck to the River Blyth and is pleasant in itself, but the area behind bears the scars of industry and the now demolished Blyth Power Station.

The photo here was taken from one of the car parking areas along the dunes beside the beach.

This morning was a photo shoot at Tynemouth. We specifically wanted some photos of the Collingwood Monument which we got just before the sun disappeared.

We also walked along the North Pier and took more photos for our Tyne Photos website.

Here is a view of the River Tyne entrance, North and South Piers.

This afternoon we went for a walk to the South Beach at Blyth, on the Northumberland Coast.

It was not long before sunset when we got there and we walked along the beach to the South Pier then into the South Harbour.

A fishing boat was unloading it's catch just as the sun was setting. The sunset over the harbour was very spectacular and colourful.

On the way out a fire engine and police car were going into the harbour and then turned around and left - a false alarm?

Here is a photo of the sunset over the harbour cranes.

Berwick was today's main destination to take photos of the bridges for image library stock.

We always like visiting Berwick as there are some great photo locations, pleasant walking and a butcher who sells superb beef olives! All in all it makes for a great day out combining work with pleasure.

Photos of the bridges were taken as well as sunset at the pier. These are also for use on our Northumberland website.

In between, we visited Horncliffe, further up the River Tweed to photograph the Union Suspension Bridge for our Boders Photos website.

Here is a photo of the Quay Walls at Berwick.
