Seahouses harbour
And so on to Seahouses, which is a lovely little seaside town with proper amenities like good fish and chip shops and pubs, ice cream and gift shops. It has an attractive harbour, which gave me an hour of deep enjoyment, wandering around with my camera in the evening light. You can take boat trips from here to the Farne Islands to see the birds and seals. Seahouses also has a RNLI Lifeboat. I always used to love looking around lifeboat stations as a child and marvelling at the heroic stories - they usually have pictures and newspaper cuttings on display about their rescues. I find it astonishing that the lifeboats are crewed by volunteers - what heroes!
I took far too many photos that evening. (Thank heavens for digital!) The colours were glorious and it was all so tempting.

What an amazing pair of photos! Is this a lobster pot?
ReplyDeleteLovely to meet you last evening :)
I just came back from holidays and discovered all your pictures since the april, 20. And, I LOVE this place!!Exactly the kind of landscape I could enjoy for hours! Loved the bench, the island, and this cute little bird! As yu say, thanks to the digital cameras! (and thank you to share this wonderful journey!)
ReplyDeleteOh lovely pictures. Thank heavens for digital, thank heavens for Saltaire Daily Photo. That first shot has powerful resonances of the opening sequence of Jazz on a Summers' Day.
ReplyDeleteI love how the colours are repeated in both photos - nice shots :o)
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely photos! Wonderful blues!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little bird! He seems to be posing for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! And thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteOh it's almost as if there is a tiny mermaid there that I see in one of those reflections in the water. How beautiful! ~Lili
ReplyDeleteTo come up with these two pictures as a definitive memory of Seahouses harbour ......impressive, I'm surprised the water was that still in the first picture with the amount of moving traffic. !
