Spent much of the day in Newcastle before heading home to prepare for my second trip to Korea this year. Found so much choice of subjects. Newcastle is a great city for photography. It has everything - transport, architecture, water. It's also where I bought my very first DSLR - the Canon 400D. Of course, I hardly scratched the surface, but here are a few more:
Morning view down the Tyne:

One of the major venues in Newcastle is actually in Gateshead - The Sage:

Tried some different angles on the Olympic rings on the Tyne Bridge:

Around the corner from the bridge was the interestingly named Dog Leap Stairs:

I then walked to the high level bridge over the Tyne and took some shots of the Tyne bridges from behind:

Later made my way to the station for my journey to London King's Cross en route to Wales. This is looking towards the north end of the station and you can just make out the castle keep:

and the view through the electric wires at the end of the platform;
