Newcastle Gateshead Quayside

Deep blue hour on a still evening, Baltic and the golden glow of the concert hall lined up along the Gateshead bank with the Millennium arch white in front and the Tyne Bridge lit green behind. A long exposure holds the whole skyline in the mirror of the river.

The Quayside is the stretch of the Tyne where Newcastle and Gateshead face each other across the water, once the heart of the city's shipping trade and now its favourite place to walk, eat and watch the river. Its skyline of bridges, Baltic and the glass curve of the concert hall is the image of the modern North East.
