"why aye man!"
Inspired title from the Dire Straits song of the same name and also from using me Samyang Fisheye on the Tyne!

Had a cracking &quot;neet oot doon the toon&quot; with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16125468@N05/">Alan Dingwall</a> as we braved the elements from a bitter cold wind to a few snow showers! But a cracking night wandering the quayside and experimenting with lenses and angles! This image is one I've been after ever since seeing Jason Friends fisheye of the Millennium Bridge!

Talking of bridges we had an incident with a couple of Japanese tourists who were about to call trading standards as their picture of the bridge showed it opening and there was a massive Ferris Wheel next to the Baltic! &quot;Aye that was there for show love!&quot; we said! Aware that we could cause a potential cultural issue! Luckily they decided to wander off rather than pursue their claim for false advertising!

Talking of luck, anyone who knows Alan and myself, knows we both have a history of comedy falls and slips! Now I'm pleased to report with all this water around us neither of us went for a dip and we even managed to come home with all our lenses and cameras in tact! Now that must be a first!

Thanks again Alan for the company and a cracking night fella! Make sure to check out <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16125468@N05/">Alan Dingwall</a> photostream too!

<i>&quot;Why Aye Man 
We had no way of staying afloat
We had to leave on the ferry boat
Economic refugees
On the run to Germany
We had the back of Maggie's hand
Times were tough in Geordieland
We got wor tools and working gear
And humped it all from Newcastle to here

Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man&quot;</i>
