Lovely buildings on Dean Street and Mosley Street (yes, this is the corner right outside Portofino’s).
And Happy Birthday to me!
Portofino’s, an Italian restaurant on the corner of Dean Street and Mosley Street. The food’s pretty good, but the building is amazing. I’m curious as to whether the designer is the same as the Newcastle Breweries offices, the Central Arcade, the Bee Hive pub, the Centurian (*makes mental note to take a pic there*) and others.
D, my husband, took this picture. That’s my arm on the right. I didn’t notice until after I’d posted.
The Northern Goldsmiths building on Blackett Street. Pretty ornate, eh? Definitely worth getting a crick in the neck for

Taken using a door viewer, is the Metro sign on the north side of Monument. It’s yellow, too!
I thought about posting this for the ‘yellow’ day, but I wanted the yellow to be more integral.
Lloyds TSB near Monument and the Theatre Royal, by night.
Northumbria University campus East. Taken from nearly the same place I took this one, but a little further down.
Mike was asking for a picture of Milburn House on Friday. I was going to keep this one for a while, but seeing as he asked so politely….
I never would have thought of framing the building with the bridge like this. This shot was heavily inspired by this one at this too will pass, who you should all visit regularly if you value amazing photography. 
A picture of the interior and a little more information, here.
People drinking outside in the sunshine on Osborne Road yesterday tea time.
Funnily enough, the bars on the opposite side of the road – the ones that were in shadow – were not so busy.
Bookstack By Fred Watson is just over the sail bridge that Beth featured on Thursday.
Made whilst the artist was on a Fellowship at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop, ‘Bookstack’ was subsequently purchased when Newcastle Polytechnic became a University in 1992. 100 civic and academic dignitaries gathered for the inauguration, with a church service in St. Thomas’s church followed by a ceremony in which the Duchess of Northumberland received the new university’s first honorary degree. She then unveiled the sculpture, which has become a popular place to have pictures taken after graduation ceremonies.
