The Rainbow

I had the ultimate thrill of spending two days at Alton Towers, riding such fantastic rides as Nemesis, Air, Oblivion, Rita, The River Rapids and many more. There were lots of great photo moments of all of us, both before, during and after Alton Towers.

The picture that I wanted to share, though, was this: the rainbow that appeared during the rain shower as we were just about to leave. It was so bright and beautiful. To be honest, I didn't think that the Nokia N95 would do the image justice, but I think that it captured it rather well.

Comments, as always, much appreciated.

Penshaw Monument, Sunderland

I took this photo on Sunday. It was a beautiful, although cold, afternoon, and the sun was shining brilliantly.

What I particularly like about this image is the way the monument is framed between the branches of the trees in the foreground. I think I may have just found my new desktop wallpaper.

Comments, as always, much appreciated.

Purple on Green

I was walking along a path yesterday and spotted all of these beautiful flowers growing out of the hedges.

I thought that they looked fab, so whipped out the N95 and snapped it. What do you think?

On a totally unrelated issue, my contract was due for renewal last month. I got a Samsung Tocco. It's a 5 megapixel touchscreen phone. I'm quite content with my Nokia N95, so I gave it to my wife to replace her antiquated Sony Ericsson. Aren't I nice?

Anyway, comments on the photo more than welcome!

The Big Bolt

Snapped this one next to Sunderland University - I have no idea of it's significance, but I thought it image worthy, so whipped out the trusty N95 and took this pic.

What do you think? Comments, as always, welcome.

Wearmouth Bridge

I snapped this one, again last Saturday, as I was walking along the river Wear early in the morning. To the left you can see the grotesque Echo 24 building - premium apartments overlooking the river. Apparently they're really nice inside. Shame they're such an eyesore...
I love this image because it's so grey, and yet the iconic bridge, as a centrepiece, is so eyecatching.
Comments, as always, appreciated.

The Metal Tree

Another picture that I snapped down by the river, this is something that would really creep you out if you saw it at night.

Fortunately, I saw it during the day, thought it looked fantastic, so got this great picture. What do you think?

Comments, as always, appreciated.
