Wearmouth Bridge

I took this picture a couple of months back, when we had some blisteringly hot weather. We'd taken our bikes from the National Glass Centre all the way to the Stadium of Light, and were heading back.

I thought that this view was fantastic, so out came the Nokia N95 and this image was snapped.

Earth, Wall and Sky

I snapped this image on the Nokia N95 because I thought it looked so simple, so plain, and yet, at the same time, so nice.

It's simply a wall along the road in Holy Island. The wall, on a grass verge, with the blue sky as a backdrop. I thought it was great.

Bee On Flower

This is another shot that I captured in the walled garden at Holy Island on 11th July 09.

I saw this flower, and thought the burst of colour on it was amazing. I also noticed the bee busily making it's way over the flower, so I quickly pulled out the Nokia N95 to grab this image. Just as well, because no sooner had I taken the picture, the bee flew off to find some more flowers.

Flower In The Garden

This is another snap from Holy Island at the weekend.

There's a garden there,it's very small,but it has some beautiful flowers in it. I managed to take this picture by setting the Nokia N95 to close up mode. I think the way the flower is framed against the contrasting wall and sky is brilliant.

Holy Island: The Castle

It was a beautiful day on Saturday 11th July. Visiting Holy Island-also known as Lindisfarne-was fantastic. Yes, it was a bit chilly, being right out on the North Sea, but the sun was shining brightly.

I took a number of photos on the Nokia N95 which I'll be posting here-meantime, I'll leave you with this shot of the castle.

Flower and Horse

I snapped this picture at Holy Island on Saturday 11th July. I saw a horse in a field, with these wild flowers growing out of the wall in front of it. Setting the Nokia N95 onto closeup mode, I focused on the flower, making sure that the horse was in the background. I'm proud of the result!

Strawberries

Nothing says summer like Strawberries and Cream, so we got some from our local supermarket. When I got them home, I couldn't help but notice how vibrant the colours were. So out came the Nokia N95 and I got this shot. Nice.

Didgeridoo on the Bridge

In Durham on Friday 10 July 2009, I spied this man playing the didgeridoo on the bridge over the River Wear. I signalled to him, asking if I could snap a picture. He nodded his agreement, so I whipped out my Nokia N95 and took this picture. I love the way his dog seemed so bored at his master's fantastic sound. His playing of the instrument was awesome.

Framwellgate Bridge

So I was in Durham today with my wife, and it was a pretty overcast today-my kind of weather, I'm not too keen on the blistering heat. Leaning across the masonry of the bridge, looking along the River Wear, Durham cathedral and castle in the background. Beautiful. So I pulled out the Nokia N95 and took this picture. I set it to close up mode to get the blurred image of the castle in the background. I love this image-I may have found my new desktop wallpaper.

The Tree in The Rock

I snapped this image on my trusty Nokia N95 - yes, I still own this fantastic phone - at the weekend in Ambleside, Cumbria.

I had just been in a car crash, so I think that I did remarkably well to manage to keep a steady hand!

I was walking along the pavement when I looked up and spotted the image that you can see now. I thought it was fab - what do you think?
