Pier Point dwellings overlooking Roker Pier and Lighthouse on Sunderland's seafront.
The curve of the North Pier at the mouth of the River Wear looks serene on a fine spring day like this, but imagine pulling up a chair and watching the same view when a storms delivers raging seas crashing over that same pier and lighthouse from the comfort of your living room!

The wooden structure to the left is Dunston Coal Staiths, partly fire damaged, but still impressive. (October, 2007) #NightPhotography #Photography #Tyne

2010 saw the UK's coldest December since 1890, and it was coldest of any winter month since February 1986. 🥶 #Tyne #Winter #Photography
Foggy night on Newcastle's Quayside. I took this in December 2006, and haven't browsed through these old photos for ages. I wasn't too bad!! 😂 #Photography #Fog #Tyne
Interesting folk on the Tyne. When seeing AC/DC there (BJ's home town) I ran to the bar during the set only to find a bloke covered in their patches propping it up. Told me he refused to actually go in as it wasn't Bon singing!

Late Winter sunshine warming up the sand dunes a little at South Shields in North East England.
Little more than a week left before the arrival of 'meteorological Spring', as they call it (although Spring proper in the Northern Hemisphere doesn't arrive until 20 March.

'Conversation Piece' – 22 bronze figures by Spanish artist/sculptor Juan Muñoz, on the seafront at South Shields, Tyne & Wear. Known locally as the 'Weebles', each figure is around 1.5 metres tall and weighs a ¼ ton.
I reckon, that when no one's looking, these slightly creepy figures start rocking and turning their heads!

St Nicholas' Cathedral, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, asserting its presence with its wonderful 15th-century lantern spire, just beyond the 'Black Gate'.

A tiny clip of lasers across the #Tyne (@seb_ly's #LaserLightCity show). We had a fair bit of drizzle in #Newcastle, but it added to the effect as it danced across the light beams.

My heating is fixed. Yay! Too busy with the real world to get writing (boo!) but managed some background work on Substack instead. I came across the attached image on my file travels. Down memory lane at Tynemouth, North Tyneside, England on a blustery day.

Haven't been down to the Newcastle Quayside for a while. Sage looking as shiny as ever.

It also means we have no effective #railways connections to the #Tyneside conurbations, although that is finally being fixed. The key obstacle to re-opening lines like the #Ashington #Blyth & #Tyne line was the railway bureaucracy embedded in the Department of Transport who repeatedly prioritized Inter City and promoted the removal of assets that would enable growth in services. That's why the bill for re-opening #ABT includes re-dualling sections of line and a whole new signalling system.
