Autumn tales from the riverbank 1
A time lapse animation video showing some scenes from a wonderful autumn day on the River Tyne at Hexham, Northumberland.
Clear blue skies, wonderful autumn colours, amazing reflections, tired salmon trying to jump the big weir, and lots of seagulls and ducks gathering around you - what more could you need after a poor summer?
The music is A Seated Night (Ambient) by Moby and has a free Moby gratis non-commercial license agreement - many thanks for this initiative

Following on from the wonderful snowfall of the winter the start of spring has been heralded by sunshine, signs of warmth and plenty of new photo opportunities

Fortunately this was the Northumberland Fire & Rescue Service undertaking some training with a recovered stolen car
that would otherwise be either burnt out in some local park or being crushed at the local scrap yard

making a wonderful minature forest landscape
One of my favourite views in the country but with competition from so many other views in the Cumbrian Lake District
- this is the view towards Keswick from beside the route up to Castle Crag, Borrowdale.
