I’ve been waiting for a while to get a photo of this house without cars parked outside.I’m glad that I persevered.

Civic

Newcastle’s Civic Centre is an interesting building. Interesting, but not lovely (in my view).

However, I do like the seahorses on the top of the tower!

Arcade

Arcade

A trip to Newcastle wouldn’t be complete without a visit (or two) to the magnificent Central Arcade. It’s a fabulous setting.

One day I’ll get a photo of it that I really like. Until then, I’ll just keep trying.

Meeting place

Meeting place

When I was taking this shot, my primary interest was the curved platform and roof. Then I noticed that the empty station provided an interesting backdrop to the conversation between a group of staff.

Serendipity… because moments later a train emptied and the concourse filled up again.

Elegant entrance

Elegant entrance

We went for a wee walk on our final morning in London. Photos were taken – starting with what must be the most elegant entrance to any Travelodge.

Drawn to the light

Drawn to the light

I entered this scene from the left of the shot. First I noticed the handrails, then the floor tiles. Eventually, as I moved my feet, my attention was drawn to this composition – leading to the light. It pays to wander around a bit.

Design Museum

Design Museum

I didn’t get any decent photos of the outside of the Design Museum. But, I like this shot taken inside. What a fascinating building, and there are some fascinating displays too!

Contrasting designs

Contrasting designs

More new apartment developments – a couple of minutes walk from Coal Drops Yard. I was struck by the contrasting design – one quite functional, the other quite… different.

Gasholders

Gasholders

Next to Coal Drops Yard you’ll find Gasholder Park. A development of apartments (at eye-watering prices) built within the structure of the old gasholders. All part of the redevelopment in the King’s Cross area.

Entrance

Entrance

Actually, this is not how we typically approach Coal Drops Yard. It all depends where you start, I guess!

But, when I did see this entrance, I was struck by the symmetry – very pleasing on the eye.
