"the great divide" ~ {Explore} - a photo on Flickriver

Inspired title from this weekend's big "derby" game between arch rivals Newcastle United & Sunderland Football Clubs!

Made Explore #57 21st October 2012.

View On Black

Well, I've been meaning to get out and shoot the sunrise down at Tynemouth Haven, home to Tynemouth's Sailing Club, and also a great view point of the two piers on either side of the River Tyne.

So when my alarm went off on Saturday morning I did have to drag myself down here, I'd noticed all week the sun was rising between the piers, so figured I'd have to try and capture it! Well it was a canny rise, but shortly after sunrise the sun was way too bright to get any enjoyment from, so after chatting with another tog who mentioned he was going to St Mary's Lighthouse I did the same!

But not before I had a few pre and post sunrise images, I've uploaded the two images to show you the difference in light from just a ten minute period! Now one draw back from the recent high tides was the amount of rubbish on this beach! It's such a shame as there are some amazing rocks, similar to some of the larger ones you see South of the Tyne!

However, I had to wait for the tide to drop a bit before I could include the foreground rocks as there was a thick layer of seaweed and rubbish - plastic bottles, margarine boxes, fish boxes and most types of plastic! Plus some amazing tree branches and logs!

Anyhow, back to the great divide! For those that don't know the pier on the left is the North Pier and home to Tynemouth and then North Shields. The pier to the right is the South Pier and home to South Shields! We like to keep things simple you see! Well folk from the North of the Tyne mostly follow Newcastle United and South of the River and further South you'll find Sunderland and then South of them Middlesbrough! The main football teams in the North East of England.

Well as if by magic the score in todays game was 1-1 so both sides can sleep easy and not lose face at work tomorrow!
Had a cracking weekend chasing the light and being with the family, met Phil, Ed, Simon & Paul today and caught another sunrise! So more images to process and share soon!

Anyhow got a trip to London this week and all ready thinking about a few locations on the way down and back! Hope you all had a good weekend and have a great week!
