"it's grim up north"
Inspired by my favourite location to photograph. Yes, I think I've found my favourite place!

Since getting my Sigma 10-20mm I knew there was one place I had to visit with her! Newcastle Quayside, I really love the capabilities of the extra mm to capture these wide angle vistas.

Naturally being from the area these views mean so much to me and no doubt many more North East folk.

So the title is a little bit ironic (don't you think! okay not doing that song!) as once the general view was &quot;It's grim up North!&quot;.

No longer can that be said with a thriving quayside where folk come from miles around just to sample some Geordie hospitality! Also with a thriving Arts presence on the quay too, The Baltic is hosting this years Turner Prize!

So only one song to accompany this offering today and it's &quot;run for home&quot; by North East legends Lindisfarne.

My son just heard the song and said &quot;Dad is that me singing?&quot;, his class had sung this song as a farewell gift to their old headmaster! My son's version is the better one but not on youtube....yet!

Well time to enjoy what's left of the weekend and brace myself for a two day conference zzzzzzzzzzzzz Oops yeah yeah! 

PS The sky was a weird colour on Tuesday night I blame that bloody aurora thing I think she's been mixing me yella man!
