At the end of last month, Iain and I took a flying visit to Newcastle for a walking tour of the central motorway. It was great to have any kind of excuse to get back up to the wonderful city, but an added bonus to meet a group of like-minded people, who also knew some excellent craft beer venues.
We had a fun night, first with the ubanists and then with old friends of Iain and his partner, the fantastically talented PeachyRaith. Somehow, I still managed an early enough start to get out and take a few pictures before the long journey south. Here’s a few now…
I’ve shot similar before, but love this arrangement of spectacular bridges dwarfing people.It was cold night to be out on the streets, but many people wereThe Manors.One of central Newcastle’s ‘gateways’. This on the former Great North RoadSymmetry University
The High-Level Bridge
Early morning Tyne Bridge
The Byker Metro bridge over the Ouseburn
The classic, but ever-mesmerising view down the TyneBy the time this guy had stuck all his posters to the base of the Tyne bridge, it was time to take them all down again. I guess his morning’s work was important to him
I lived there for many years but your cliched pictures don’t come close to the feel of being there. I detest this kind of stereotype. Make it black and white and bleak. This is just lazy and crap.
Fantastic series of photographs, the black and white works so well. I’m pleased to see that the “old” Newcastle I remember from the late 1970s/ early 1980s hasn’t entirely been replaced by posh wine bars and footballer’s wives.
Excellent work as always! Great to see these shots of Newcastle, it’s been years since I was last in the city for work.
