Can't get too much of a good thing! We had booked for a week's stay which coincided with the worst of the recent storms. Fortunately for us, the north-east missed the worst. Sun, wind and rain, yes, but just enough to provide some dramatic landscapes. First up are the castles, but, for me, the backgrounds/foregrounds are just as interesting. Hope you agree! All with K-1 and DFA 28-105mm. All comments welcome.

These are just beautiful John - couldn't pick a favourite as they are all so good, but the simple classic-ness of no.2 is spot on and the power of the waves in no.11 is so impressive

Never tire of your adventures - plus they are great inspiration for choosing a holiday destination

Some great shots there John. I really like the rough seas in numbers 1 and 10, they add another dimension.

K1000, Espio 140, ist, istD, K70, K3iii and numerous lenses, just don't tell my wife.

Some gorgeous shots there that remind me of my younger days. Must be more than 35 years ago that I was visiting those sites. Hard to pick a favourite although those rough seas do add something dramatic to them.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Magnificent set that captures the wild loneliness of those beaches perfectly. ...... so different to the idyllic calm emptiness of the same places on a sunny summer day.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Superbly captured. Well photographed.

Love the waves in no.11 and how, to me, they mimic the castle in the background

The castle surfing those waves in 11 - my pick of the lot!

It always amazes me (and pleases me!) how quiet the beautiful Northumberland coast is for much of the year.

A great set John, and good to see the waves too.

Getting older and grumpier. Taking longer to decide which lens to use today.
