Stargazing

Along with a couple of my students I was asked to cover the Stargazing Event at Gibside Chapel near Gateshead for the BBC, here's a few images from the evening

Sunrise to Sunset

Spent the day wandering about the North Yorkshire Coast between sunrise and sunset, its a bit easier when the days are shorter in Winter!

A few shots here ...

The sun rises over the beach at Saltburn

The Pier at Saltburn catches the morning sunrise

And to end the day, a sunset at Paddys Hole

First of the Year, 2012

I went up onto the North Yorkshire Moors with my good friend Andy to see what we could catch. After a lovely cup of tea while the weather moved above us we drove up to the top of the fell to take some pictures, the wind was blowing hard and cold, here's a couple of shots

Day of Action

On Wednesday the 30th of November I took part in the National Day of Action and along with several other odd million or so Public Workers went on Strike.

These images are just a few I took on the protest march through Middlesbrough Town Centre while marching with my fellow strikers

More images are here

Nice day for a walk

It seems that our PM wasn't listening either

A set of "Bankers" eh! .... could have been worse

I should hope so!

Durham City

The Luminere Event in Durham City attracted thousands to see the City lit up with light, including a giant snowglobe and projections onto the 2,000 year old Cathedral.

There are more images here
