River Tyne, looking west
Most people, on reaching Newcastle by train, look east to see the bridges. I can’t deny it sends a shiver down my spine to see that iconic sight. But by doing so, you miss out on looking west. And it’s quite a view – especially when the light’s like this and you can barely see the Redheugh bridge.
I love this shot; thanks Beth! Dave
I love this shot too!
Whenever I head home I still always go over the Tyne Bridge. I did this even when I was heading from the south and visiting friends in Gateshead. Go past, over the bridge, turn round and come back again before stopping.
Last time I walked it (literally – all the way from Monaco). Landed at the dock on a ferry from Holland, with the Strawberry by St James’ as my end point. I still diverted and walked across the bridge before finishing!
Glad you like the shot, Dave and Gordon.
Mosh, you are slightly crazy, but I think you knew that already, no? In the nicest possible possible way
I always look towards the bridges too. I will look the other way next time I come to Newcastle, next Saturday actually. Yippy!!! Ciao. Antonella
