Moonrise at Newbiggin........

I thought the low cloud on the horizon was going to scupper my plans tonight, but thankfully it didn't and I managed to catch these shots of the rising moon behind St Bartholomews Church before it got too dark.

Morning has broken.......

The sunrise peeping over Coquet Island on the Northumberland coast on the dawn of a new day!!

Coquet Island Sunrise (4/10/26)

It was definitely worth the 5:30 alarm this morning - to head up to Amble for sunrise.
As I was driving up I could see the sky starting to light up and when I got to my location I didn't have to wait long before the colours really started showing.

It lasted about 25 minutes with some lovely reds showing before fading away to yellow just before the sun popped over the horizon.

Well the naff weather has prevented any chance of capturing the moonrise over the last few days - cloud cloud and more cloud!!

So here's one from a while ago - The moon emerging from behind the low cloud bank at the fabulous Dunstanburgh Castle.

Partial Solar Eclipse, wed 12th Aug

Well to say that was challenging would be an understatement. I thought I wasn't going to see it at all because of cloud cover - thankfully I managed to grab a few shots at various stages of the eclipse between a few breaks in the clouds.

Certainly not my best images ever but pleased I managed to get something.

'Beam me up Scotty'.........

The Milky Way above Holy Island's rescue hut.
It really is a fabulous place to view the night sky - every time I go there at night and once my eyes have adjusted I'm always in awe of the millions of stars and planets you can see.

Just another Northumberland sunrise.......

Seaton Sluice - The Kings Arms and The Old Watch House, surrounded by the beautiful sunrise glow - I love the colours reflected in the wet sand too.

It's grim up North apparently 😜

Dustanburgh Castle's Lilburn Tower Cradling The Full Moon.......

For various reasons my photography has taken a back seat of late, and I just haven't been able to get out and about as I normally would.
So apologies to everyone for my lack of content and thanks to those who messaged wondering where I'd gone.
There has been some health issues in the family but I'm pleased to say things are a lot better now.

So with that said, I couldn't get out to shoot the full moon of the last couple of days - so I thought I'd share one of my favourites from a while back, this image went absolutely nuts on social media at the time so if you haven't seen it before - enjoy!!

P.S. can you spot the man in the image?

The beautiful wild flowers of Tynemouth.......

Astilbe, known as false spirea (or possibly false valerian) which are clump forming perennials - producing feathery plumes of flowers in shades of red, pink and white.
Typically from June to August.

Another shot from my recent trip to the Bluebell Woods......

Light is a photographers best friend and shining through the trees here it literally makes an already beautiful scene even more enchanting.
