Jim Jones
Northumberland and North East England coast sunsets and sunrisesI am a retired Bank Manager and enthusiastic photographer who likes nothing better than being out and about with my lovely Keeshond dog Lily and a camera around my neck wandering around the Northumbrian coast. Retirement is a wonderful thing for any amateur photographer, freeing up time and getting rid of the less pleasant things in life such as working for a living.

Cambois in Northumberland
The village of Cambois in Northumberland is situated on the north side of the estuary of the River Blyth. Once a flourishing coalmining area the village is mostly residential following the closure of Cambois Colliery in 1968. There is a lovely stretch of sandy beach runni9ng from the mouth of the River Wansbeck to the storage silos belonging to the Port of Blyth. There is 'promise' of further development relating to offshore wind and the manufacture of batteries which should give the whole area a much needed boost.
Charlie's Garden, Seaton Sluice
The sea stack in Collywell Bay, Seaton Sluice, Northumberland is known locally as Charlie's Garden from the time when it was much bigger and the top was alive with vegetation. The North Sea has eroded this stack of Carboniferous sandstone, but bit is still very impressive.
North Shields Fish Quay
North Shields Fish Quay is situated on the River Tyne in the North East of England, and dates back to 1225. The area is still a working quay, but there are also many restaurants and fish and chip shops making the area a mecca for visitors looking to take in the sights of the lower reaches of the river and to sample the delicious food on offer.
Malta
The Islands of Malta are one of my favourite places to visit in Europe. From the stunning capital city of Valletta to the smaller islands of Gozo and Comino the variety is endless and being one of the cradles of civilization Malta presents a fascinating history which is centuries older than the pyramids of Egypt.
Tynemouth
Tynemouth, not surprisingly, is situated on the north bank at the mouth of the River Tyne (!) and its origins can be traced back to the Iron Age. A monastery and castle were built in the seventh century and it is thought that three ancient kings are buried there. The modern town boasts two wonderful beaches in the Long Sands and King Edwards Bay and these are well used throughout the year by locals and visitors alike.
Lake Garda
Captivating Lake Garda is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe with its clear water and natural beauty, almost perfect climate and welcoming locals. Steeped in history it has a charm and ambience which ensures that most visitors return time after time, or at least wish they had.
Northumberland
The County of Northumberland is the most northerly county in England and is situated in the North East of the country facing the North Sea and has more land per head of population than anywhere else in the country. Stretching from the River Tweed in the north almost to the River Tyne in the south it has many wonderfully sandy beaches. The west of the county borders the Cheviot Hills and this area contains the Northumberland National Park. Historically the county is the birthplace of Christianity in England via the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and its proximity to ancient Scotland ensured that it can also boast many medieval castles and fortresses . A wonderful place to live and work in, it is also a very popular tourist destination because of the beaches and unspoilt landscape..
Sirmione, Lake Garda
Sirmione is a resort town at the top of a peninsular at the southern end of Lake Garda in northern Italy. The Old Town is accessed through the gate house of a medieval castle and is the home of thermal springs and the Roman ruins of Grotte di Catullo. Not surprisingly the town is very busy with tourists and day trippers arriving by bus and ferry from all around the lake.
Bedlington
The town of Bedlington is in the county of Northumberland in the north east of England some 11 miles north of Newcastle. The history of the town can be traced back to the bronze age and the oldest standing building is part of St Cuthbert's church which date back to the 11th century. Industrial Bedlington probably started with the iron works about 250 years ago, then the mining industry from about 1838 but neither of these industries are now in operation. Perhaps the town is now best known globally for the Bedlington Terrier dog which originated there.
Druridge Bay in Northumberland
Druridge Bay in Northumberland is seven miles of beautiful beach between Cresswell in the south and Amble in the north and is almost deserted for much of the year. The sandy beach and magnificent dunes shelter the 100 acre Ladyburn Lake which is teaming with wildlife and surrounded by woodland and meadows.
Poppies
Poppies are beautiful flowers and also a sign of remembrance for those killed during wars since World War One where they were profuse in the killing fields of Flanders. The flowers themselves also have medicinal properties and have been used since ancient Egyptian times as their seeds contain small quantities of both morphine and codeine.
Cullercoats, North Tyneside
Cullercoats is an old fishing village which can trace its origins back to 1539 and can be found on the North East coast of England just north of the River Tyne. Its picturesque bay is protected by two small piers and is home to an RNLI lifeboat station and the Dove Marine Laboratory which is part of Newcastle University.
Blyth, Northumberland
Blyth is a small town in South East Northumberland on the south bank of the river of the same name which flows into the North Sea in North East England. The name can be traced back to at least 1130 but the modern town only began to develop in the early 18th century built around the port. The industrial development of the town was built on shipbuilding and mining (the port was once the biggest coal shipping port in the world) and the railways, but following the decline of these industries the town now serves as a commuter town to Newcastle some 15 miles away and is now developing a growing reputation for offshore wind development and green energy.
Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle, or more correctly Newcastle upon Tyne is situated in the North East of England and its origins date back to roman times when the Emperor Hadrian is said to have visited to supervise the building of the first bridge over the River Tyne. After the Romans departed, Newcastle became part of the Kingdom of Northumbria. Modern Newcastle is a vibrant University City with a renowned night life and its stunning architecture and quayside make it a photographers paradise. Howay the lads!
Lake Iseo, Italy
Lake Iseo is one of the smaller lakes in northern Italy, but it is a beautiful place to spend some time and it also contains the largest island within a lake in Europe. There is also a smaller 'fairytale island' which can be seen from the regular ferry boat service serving the lakeside villages.
Tynemouth Priory, North Tyneside
Tynemouth Castle and Priory is on the coast of North East England and was once one of the largest fortified areas in the country. Overlooking the North Sea and the River Tyne, it dominates the headland. With its 2000 year history dating back to an Iron Age settlement and is the final resting place of both Northumbrian and Scottish kings.
Seaton Sluice, Northumberland
The village of Seaton Sluice is situated in the South East of Northumberland. Originally known as plain 'Seaton' it was known as a port as early as 1565 but its natural tidal harbour was prone to silting and a 'Sluice' was built by Sir Ralf Delaval enabling the harbour to be flushed twice a day with the tide.
River Blyth
The River Blyth flows eastwards for 27 miles through south Northumberland and empties into the North Sea on the North East coast of England. The upper reaches of the river are fresh water stretches, but sea water encroaches as far as Bebside from the mouth of the river which is protected on both sides by piers and a lighthouse. The Port of Blyth occupies the eastern end of the river and the Royal Northumberland Yacht Club marina is also housed there in the Import Dock.
Alnmouth, Northumberland
Alnmouth (as the name suggests!!) is a village at the mouth of the River Aln in Northumberland on the North East coast of England. One of a number of small picturesque villages on the Northumberland coast and with a history dating back to 1150, Almouth is a very popular tourist destination.
Newbiggin by the Sea
Newbiggin by the sea is a small seaside town in Northumberland on the North East coast of England. The town grew initially as a fishing port and mining area but with the demise of mining it has carved itself a niche as a commuter town and holiday spot with many guest houses and caravans. The famous 'couple' statue is visible in the bay, which was restocked with 500,000 tonnes of sand in 2007 following its denuding from stormy weather. The bay is also home to a small fleet of traditional Northumbrian Fishing Cobles and a colourful RNLI lifeboat station.
