Fabulous February

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge a.k.a The Winking Eye

If a survey was carried out for photographs taken during February in the UK, it would probably reveal a sudden upsurge in photo taking activity. The month was not only wonderful for the quality of the light, it was also quite warm which makes it a lot nicer for getting out and about and snapping away.

The photograph above was taken from the Tyne bridge which was rather daunting due to the gusty wind and the height.... I don't like heights much! The Gateshead Millennium Bridge was developed for the Millennium celebrations in 2000 and was one of the few large millennium projects to be delivered without any problems. Not only is it a brilliant piece of engineering that's beautiful to look at but it also serves a useful purpose, giving the public easy access to the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Arts in Gateshead.
