[Leica] The River Tyne from winter walks

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard Taylor)]

Douglas - When I took the train from London to Glascow a few years ago  
it stopped in Newcastle and I remember thinking it would be fun to  
walk and photograph around the waterfront.  I never did get to do it,  
but now I've at least had a virtual walk around the place.  It seems  
pretty bleak in Winter, I must say.

 From the looks of it, St. Mary's must be a Stevenson light.  It's a  
pretty one, in any case.  (In that photo, BTW, I would have liked to  
have the life ring holder either gone, or moved to the right to  
strengthen the focus on the light.)

Nice set.


Regards,

Dick
