Red Bull Break 5 2011 from meu images on Vimeo.
We dont often see the Northern Lights this far south as a rule… but two weeks ago we got a treat.

This shot is via James Cummings – good work young man.
Sadly I missed this wondrous sight as I was out of the country, sliding down an Alp. Hopefully I will get another chance to this this sight at home. :)

This time last year we were knee-deep in snow. Well, you were, I managed to make it out of the country on the last flight from Newcastle before they shut the airport due to the weather.
And look at it now – its like Spring – blue skies, sunshine, double figure temperatures… and since im still here, I have been making the most of it with some long walks along the coast.
All these shots are taken with my iPhone, and far from being high-grade, yet still capture the coast in its glorious autumn light… :)
Im off to Indonesia for a month… more at Christmas…

September. That time of year when normality returns once more and village life in Beadnell, Seahouses and Bamburgh returns to a mellower pace.
The weather is still pretty fantastic, blue skies, sunshine and warm water. The road are getting quieter… you can feel Autumn approaching.
I love September. I revel in it.
As the summer passed, I thought about what defined this area we live in.. not easy to do. Not as an answer to that, but as a visual exploration, I collected these images, which hopefully begin to paint the picture.

Coxons Ice-cream

The Longstone Lighthouse on the Farne Islands

Fish and Chips from any of the various chippy's

Bamburgh Castle

Lobster Pots - working or decorative

Billy Shiel boat trips to the Farne Islands
Of course there are many other things I could have included, and everyone has their own vision of what this special piece of coast means to them, but you have to draw the line somewhere… We could talk about Kippers, Grace Darling, Dunstanburgh Castle, Beadnell Harbour, Golden Beaches… but these are the ones that work most visually – and they work for me.
