The Morpeth Northumbrian Gathering attracted these vintage buses on Saturday. The red United bus often fetaures in period British TV shows such as Heartbeat.

Thanks for your comments folks.
Cap'n Hearty is an actor called Ray Alexander who was portraying Sir John Vanburgh the great 18th century English archtitect and playwright responsible for Morpeth Town Hall and many fine English country houses.
I also photographed two 1948 vintage buses which ran a park and ride service into the town centre. I may post a couple of these in a seperate thread.

The last four shots are terrific, especially the ones that demonstrate curves and angles.

Technoblurb told us about this event in a recent post. Unfortunately he couldn't go yesterday but I went along. There were some real characters there. Here's a few samples.

The guy with the white hair was a terrfic story teller. He had the little kids enthralled. Because of the current climate I didn't attempt to photgraph the childrens' expressions.

This is just a personal point of view Pauly and in no way detracts from your excellent photography of these exciting buildings but I just don't like trees and shrubs in graphic pictures of modern architecture. I dislike the clash between the random nature of natural growth with the clean modern lines of the buildings. I prefer the starkness of the buildings unadorned by trees.
But keep on taking modern buildings, I love 'em.

My favourite among these is the first one for the clarity of the image which clearly shows the peaks of the Snowdon horseshoe. The others are good too but the more cluttered foreground detracts from the scene in my view.

Taken in the grounds of our Crieff Hotel when we were snow bound.

Spring has sprung but I'm still looking at photos from February when I was in the snow in Scotland. Here's some samples

Nice horse picture
