fairly new to this
comments and suggestions welcome

Are you saying that that 1965 Beetle is responsible for bringing
back this 1960's style Winter

Brave pictures

Made me feel quite homesick.

I remember the area well.

I think that 1&3 need a lift, adjust levels I think.

aye
i just posted them straight out of the camera but i cropped the beetle

Hard to believe that they only gave a 6 month Warranty on
New Beetles in 1965........ still going strong 45 years later

Most other cars sold in the UK had a 12 month Warranty.

I remember when North Shields had "A LOT" of fishing boats, both trawlers and drifters. I used to see them from the other side "South Shields". Next time put the telephoto lens on and get the good side of the river. Just joking. Number 3 for me. CHEERS Vic.

I too remember North Shields Fish Quay when it was busy with big trawlers as well as these much smaller vessels. The light is lovely. No. 3 would have been better with some foregound interest such as a boat coming down the Tyne.

1 and 3 is a very very nice

Geordie. I think David might be right about a ship/boat in the foreground but I think you might have to wait quite a while to see one these days. on the odd occasion I go up to Shields I notice there is hardly anything on the river nowadays. 60years ago the river had as many ships on it as the M25 has cars (well almost). It was a very busy river. Now all the ship yards and docks seem to be fancy houses/flats and marinas. They say patience is the photographers friend so go back and wait for a ship/boat. CHEERS Vic.

I like them all
