The bridge is called Weetwood Bridge it straddles the River Till.I like the shape of the bridge together with the trees beside the river as well.
I was going to crop out the sign as being white it is a distraction but decided to leave it in as it proclaims the state of the bridge as it stands today, it is grade 1 listed but I cannot find a date when it was built. We did have some rain while we were there from that cloud that drifted out over the Cheviot hills.

Back from our adventures up to the North of England and into Scotland.
I must say that the weather gave us a variety of conditions, a little snow a little sunshine a little rain and a lot of freezing wind, well it is winter after all so what else did I expect to be honest, we had a warm and very cosy cottage to stay in and only a short walk to a nice pub as well.

I shot many images from snow capped hills to amazing bridges deserted beaches and amazing weather shots, not an awful lot was planed we took it day to day with the weather guiding us to many decisions, I tend to avoid the honey pot locations that have been shot a million times though I did touch on one spot. which will turn up as I randomly trawl through the shots I took.

I came back to a strange email that I believe is a scam saying a Copyright issue had occurred on someones photos and could I open the enclosed PDF to view the claim, no way, the person involved does not even have any photos, looking on Flickr this seems to be a known occurrence so beware everyone.

The snow capped hills of the Cheviot's was a stunning view, we managed to find a high point to grab some shots across a valley where I found a nice tree to pin myself against to avoid the wind pulling on the 100- 400, many more of this scene to come as we returned a few hours later when the light was different.

A frosty morning in the Cheviots for a circular walk in the hills.

Another of the large series of annually produced 'county' and district leaflet folders issued by British Railways during the 1950s, this being from the North Eastern Region and describing the coast and country on the eastern side of England, north of Newcastle upon Tyne, and running to the Scottish Borders.

At the time, 1950, as well as the East Coast main line servingt he area through a large number of intermediate stations now mostly closed, there were a few branch lines such as to Bellingham, Rothbury, Alnwick and Newbiggin by the Sea. Even by this date the branch from Alnwick towards Wooler was long gone; opened by the North Eastern Railway in 1887 it was one of the earliest large scale closures to passengers this having occurred in 1930. The charming cover artwork is signed "Ison". This is I suspect Leonora Payne Ison ( 1904 - 1996) the British artist and architectural draughtsperson who worked closely with her husband Walter Ison, the architectural historian. The scene looks to be a view of Lindisfarne Castle, one of the area's many striking fortifications, on Holy Island.

My favourite Tree's and setting, each day seems to change this landscape capture's.

Carter Bar is a pass in the Cheviot Hills, on the Anglo-Scottish border. It lies north east of Carter Fell at the head of Redesdale, and is crossed by the A68 road as it runs north towards Jedburgh and Teviotdale.

This is an ever changing landscape, it always amazes me!

Nestled in the rugged north of England, Northumberland is a treasure trove of history, culture, and natural beauty.

Unveiling Northumberland: A Tapestry of Rich Heritage

Northumberland is steeped in history, with roots stretching back thousands of years. The county boasts a wealth of archaeological sites, from prehistoric monuments to Roman ruins, each telling a story of the people who once inhabited this land. Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands as a monumental testament to the Roman Empire’s reach and influence. Visitors can walk along its ancient stones and immerse themselves in the tales of soldiers and civilians who once traversed this formidable barrier.

The county's rich heritage is also reflected in its numerous museums and galleries, which showcase everything from local art to historical artifacts. The Great North Museum in Newcastle offers a comprehensive view of the region’s past, featuring exhibits that range from ancient Egypt to the natural history of the North East.
