[Black Pearl]

Out for a wander this morning along the quayside at Gateshead and Newcastle.

 

All shots from the Galaxy Camera processed with Instagram:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Random I know and a bit of a mixed bag in the quality stakes but I was just blatting away at anything that caught my eye.

What a fantastic set! #3 gets my vote

[KateW]

I rather like number 6 as well.

Nice shots.

What is the big round shaped thing the men  with the ropes are standing?

[Black Pearl]

Its the roof of The Sage Gateshead:

 

The thing in the middle that looks like a glass armadillo.

A bit like the building in the Bullring in Birmingham then.

I like that last shot a lot. The lights and reflections are lovely.

er, mmmm now there is a right mixed bag like no.2 love 3,4,5, & 6 (a nice set on their own) last two not really doing anything for me ?? 

[Heather]

i love most of these, no 7 and 8 dont do anything for me but the rest are lovely. lots of great textures and colours.  i think im with Phil in that no 3 is my total favourite, but thats just my sense of humour rather than the picture being any better than the others

YOU may call it 'just blatting away' - *I* call it seriously good observation and composition!

Love the tortoise and chinnie pics BP. Are they yours?

[Jon]

Cracking shots - 3 and 4 must be brilliant - I have the same shots :-)

Love the tortoise and chinnie pics BP. Are they yours?

 

 

Nah - they were at the farm in Ouseburn. 

 

I put them in the mix as they were apart of the day but I realise they don't fit in with the rest of the images.

I like the animal pics. My daughter has a chinni.

She rehomed to sisters as their owners marriage was breaking up and she had to find homes for all of her animals.

Unbeknown to my daughter one of them was already pregnant by one of the males that that they had been with as the previous owner hadn't realized they were in season.

To cut a long story short, my daughter got back from shopping one Saturday morning to find what she thought was a foot covered in blood.

Panincking that they had been fighting or a nasty accident had happened, she looked closer and it moved.

She rushed the mother nad baby to the vet to get them checked over and luckily Mollyy (the baby) mad it past the crucial first few days.

Sadly over the years Molly's Auntie was very poorly and had to be PTS and the a few years later Molly's mum took ill and had to be PTS, but molly is still a bouncing healthy girl who is about 7 years old now.

I will have to sort the video out that I took of her when she was a few days old.
