A small fishing boat based upon a coble style hull, I presume that the registration indicates a North Shields based vessel.
Charles Parsons' famous Turbinia, the prototype of which resides in Newcastle's Discovery museum.
Men having fun.

Model Boats at Saltwell Park
The model boat club at Saltwell invited their Tynemouth colleagues over for the day, so there was a good turn out of models this Sunday. The two boats that caught my attention were both based upon local prototypes.

Dramatic Light
It was a sunny warm day with a blue sky and white clouds, until dark skies appeared over the Sage concert hall in Gateshead. It looked pretty dramatic to the naked eye but the camera's auto exposure system has tried to control the strong highlights and has underexposed the scene, and this has enhanced the effect.

Sword Swallower
We cycled through to Newcastle this morning and walked through the quayside market where we saw this gentleman eating a sword.

Step This Way at Washington Old Hall
For the second successive year the Appalachian style dance team Step This Way were invited to perform at the 4th July celebrations at Washington Old Hall (UK).
This year the organisers had erected a marquee in the grounds, great to keep off the rain but not so good for photography!
Completely airborne!
Women!
Colin always makes a good subject!
