Durham

Durham - a small county, to the south of Newcastle upon Tyne, where the river Wear flows to the North Sea. Spent half day scouting the town.

A scene from the Durham railway station...


Wear River and one of the old bridges...


The Prebends Bridge built by George Nicholoson for the Dean and Chapter from 1772 - 1778. It has been restored in 1955 and took two years to be completed. The restoration works completed in 1956.


Durham Castle, where some of the Harry Porter's scenes have been filmed here.




The Great Dining Hall which is another film set of Harry Porter...


The Cathedral Church of Christ, Blessed Mary the Virgin and St.Cubbert of Durham (1093AD)






One section of the cathedral...

Whitley Bay @ Coast

Went to Whitley Bay in the Coast area. Visited the ruin of a castle by the bay.



Tynemouth Priory and Castle, the guardian of River Tyne estuary, where one can find a first WWW canon facing the sea.



The castle walls protect the substantial remains of a medieval priory...



The magnificent east wall of the church...





and the tiny and yet remarkably complete 15th. century chapel...


and the ruin of a medieval chapel.

Night Vision :: Millenium Bridge & Gateshead Quays

Night outing. This is an image of the famous Sir Charles Earl Grey. He lent his name to the famous tea - Earl Grey Tea!



The Millenium Bridge at night. I should come during the winter festival because of the better lighting up.










Night Basking!

HAPPINESS :: Afred D Souza ::

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But here was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that this was my life. This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.
