Documentary Photography of Lovely Newcastle Upon Tyne

A quick visit to wonderful Newcastle Upon Tyne this autumn, aiming for some sightseeing and documentary photography. We’ve never visited this friendly city before, but will certainly be back with the camera again some time very soon. The museums, libraries and art galleries were particularly enjoyable, not to mention the eating out.

Above all, we thought it was a good feeling just to be in such a friendly part of the country.
