Photographed at Glenridding camp-site in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria, UK. This site is situated on farmland close to some of the most popular areas & walks in the Lake District and we usually stay here for a day or two whenever we're in the area. The first time I stopped here was in 1988 during a week-long hike at Easter and this is one of my two favourite sites (the other is at Brother's Water, located near the Northern end of Kirkstone Pass). I especially like the hot-food van which arrives each morning to supply campers with bacon sandwiches and other "goodies" :-) Photographed with an Olympus SP550UZ "bridge camera" and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

The Marsden Grotto, locally known as "The Grotto", is a public house located on the coast at Marsden in South Shields, Tyne & Wear, England. The pub is one of the few 'cave bars' in Europe..... other 'cave bars' include the Caves of Xoroi in Menorca. The Grotto is now a pub/restaurant serving mainly seafood. The Grotto is partly dug into the cliff face and fronted with a more conventional building opening onto the beach. Currently The Grotto includes a large bar, the inside cave with another bar and pool room, a bistro, a heated terrace on the beach and a full restaurant upstairs. Access is either by lift from the car park or by a zigzag staircase on the cliff at the side of the building. The lift is housed in a brick shaft rising from the front of the building. A lead miner from Allendale, Jack Bates and his wife Jessie moved to the area in 1782. It is alleged he moved into a small cave at Marsden Rock either after refusing to pay rent on his house in Allendale or simply having nowhere to live. Using explosives from a local quarry, he blasted the small cave into a much larger one, earning his nickname "Jack the Blaster" in the process and creating a rent-free and landlord-free home. The dwelling was accessed by zig-zagging stairs down the cliff, thought to be built by Jack. The unusual and eccentric choice of dwelling attracted visitors, which the couple supplied with refreshments at a cost. It is suggested that he became involved in smuggling activities - offering refreshment to smugglers and using caves of the coastline to hide contraband cargo. (Wikipedia).

Locals refer to the figures by various names such as "The Weebles", "The wobbly men" or "The Fisher Folk". Photographed with an Olympus SP55OUZ bridge camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist tilt bridge spanning the River Tyne in England between Gateshead's Quays arts quarter on the south bank, and the Quayside of Newcastle-upon-Tyne on the north bank. The award-winning structure was conceived and designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre and structural engineers Gifford. The bridge is sometimes referred to as the 'Blinking Eye Bridge' or the 'Winking Eye Bridge' due to its shape and its tilting method. In terms of height, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is slightly shorter than the neighbouring Tyne Bridge, and stands as the sixteenth tallest structure in the city. (Wikipedia).

One of the Ferry fleet, "Glad Tidings", which runs between the coastal town of Seahouses and the nearby Farne Islands. The islands are home to many species of birds and thousands of Grey Seals (and they are the former home of at least 3 Saints). The Islands are also famous for their association with Grace Darling (see 1st link below) who, with her lighthouse-keeper father William, saved the lives of 9 people in 1838 when the ship "Forfarshire" went aground and split apart on nearby rocks during a violent storm. Despite weather which was too severe for the Seahouses lifeboat to be launched, Grace and her father rowed to the wreck in a small boat and managed to save the survivors. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Darling en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farne_islands
