Low level flying,
Wings brush the tops of the waves.
Freedom of the skies.
Taken from the boat from Seahouses out to the Farne Islands. Although the main objective was to see the puffins, the boat trip was the perfect opportunity to try out the bird recognition function on the camera.
Rising from the dunes,
Defence from a bygone age,
But still standing strong.
Like Wales, the northeast coast of England is awash with old castles. Some are total ruins, but some are still actually lived in. One is Bamburgh Castle, sat atop sand dunes and looking out over the North Sea to the Farne Islands.
Stacked up and ready,
Lobster pots eager for work.
Awaiting the boat.
The north-east coast of England is a treasure trove of harbours, islands, and castles. Seahouses is the gateway to the Farne Islands, famous for Grace Darling and puffins. The harbour is still a working port with its own charms.
The roof needs doing –
It has done for centuries.
Can’t get the builders
Dunstanburgh Castle is one of several castles, in varying states of repair, along the north east coast of England.
