New Year in Northumberland

Image
Just spent 5 days in Northumberland just south of Alnwick, where we spent some time on the coast and one day in the Cheviots looking at the course of the River Coquet which flows out to the sea at Amble. We also visited Lindisfarne - one of Alan's favourite places. There was nobody on the long beach at the north side of the island and we spent some time there. The tide was right out and the sea seemed miles away. The sand is an extraordinary reddish colour and is banded. The wet sand reflected the sky which was very dramatic.

Some fishermen's huts

Image
I have been getting together a few of the pictures I took on Lindisfarne of fishermen's huts. These were made of old upturned boats and looked pretty decrepit, although they all had padlocks and were obviously used. The photos have all been processed using Lightroom and Color Effex 4. The weather had been pretty dreadful and we had just got soaked in a heavy shower, but the stormy skies really added to the atmosphere

A few pictures from Northumberland

I thought I would put up a few pictures taken last week in Northumberland, on the way up to share Mairi's graduation in St Andrews. I used Color Efex 4 in the castle pictures in order to get a more atmospheric feel. As you can see the weather was not that great - but hey, all the better for photography!
