This collection of photographs have been taken from my favourite area in
the UK which is Northumberland and it's surrounding area.
Northumberland is very remote and steeped in history, this is why it is a
great place to visit. More parts will follow for Northumberland as it
is a very picturesque area and I hope these are inspiring for you.

| Boat Sheds |
This image was taken on Holy Island which can be visited by crossing the
causeway to the small Island. The image shows an upside down boat which
has been turned into a shed and there is quite a few along the marina
edge. This image captures the glimpses of the past as it looks across to
Lindisfarne Castle in the background.

| Longstone Lighthouse |
The glory of Longstone lighthouse can be seen in these images. The
lighthouse is famous for the heroine called Grace Darling as this was
where she saw the shipwreck and saved the sailors lives. The lighthouse
is a stunning feature of the Northumberland coastline and can be seen
from Seahouses harbour where you can pick up a boat trip around the
Farne Islands, which is home to thousands of sea birds.

| Morning Bamburgh |
Image of one of the most photographed castles in Britain is Bamburgh
Castle as it has a prominent appearance on the sandy beaches and
coastline. This image captures the castle from long distance and shows
off how dominent it is from the beach. This was taken whilst having an
early morning walk along the quiet beach and the lighting really
captured the glory.
 |
| Smailholm Tower |
A really strong moody image of Smailholm Tower which can be found in the
remote areas of the Scottish Borders. The tower stands on a rocky crag
which gives it the eerie feeling when you visit this tower. The overcast
day with a few breaks in the clouds gave good moody lighting to the
tower and converting the image to Black & White really makes the
image impacting. Also how the wide angle lens makes the tower lean which
gives a more overpowering feel.

| St Abbs Head |
One of the most beautiful places and quaint harbours near the Scottish
Borders. St Abbs Head protrudes out from the mainland is great to stand a
top and have the sea breeze pass you by. Also from the top you can look
back at the small village of St Abbs and really realise the size of it.
The colours and layers of the rocks really gives great attributes to
the image and is really a great place to see.
