Lining up for entry

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 21 February 2013 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Ships and boats lined up off the River Tyne seen from Sandhaven Beach, South Shields. All just waiting for the high tide to make their entry into the River Tyne.

Update

My wife has been admitted to hospital with a terminal illness and I have two children and a part time job to look after. I have pre-posted pictures up until Sunday, not sure when I will be back commenting on a regular daily basis. Just hoping that it won't be too long.

Me gusta el aspecto del cielo, tremendo, y en contraste con la luz del sol sobre la arena.

Judy aka L@dybug from Brooksville, FL, United States

I love the light in the clouds, on the ships and the sand.
This reminds me of seeing all the ships lined up to go through the Panama Canal.

Nice composition, beautiful light and colour

Lai Chan See from Singapore, Singapore

Widely expansive sweeping scene. Looks like a very large crude carrier on the horizon - a refinery in-shore?

21 Feb 2013 6:54am

@Lai Chan See: There is a petroleum storage facility further up river at Jarrow, but it's not a refinery.

We sit up front and share a cigarette,
And try to remember,
What we tried to forget...

Those days when you get this level of colour saturation and contrast are a dream, but they happen so infrequently

21 Feb 2013 9:41am

Great light and contrast of colors between dark sky and sand.

Ships edge of the world. Nice view.

Jules from Drayton, United Kingdom

gorgeous light - I am assuming there must be a naval rule regarding entry order to the Tyne i.e. "first come" and there is not just a mad dash when the tide is right - though the latter would be quite a spectacle.

Curiously,if I'm not fan of a too centerized horizon,I'm very attracted by this one..The colours,perhaps ?Or the effect created by clouds,on the ground....An amazing seaside,near a Master Painting.....Gorgeous !!! Seriously ...
