The Travel Book – Travel Through A Photo – Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, United Kingdom

There is always a story behind a photograph and I thought it would be a fun way to look at the world of travel. So, welcome to the feature that will appear regularly in the travel section.

If there is one thing that I really like about Newcastle then it is the architecture, there is so much to like about the area as it is rich in history and the buildings and the bridges really make the main part of the centre of town absolutely striking. Today we are going to look at a photograph that is focussed on one of these structures that really does create a sense of strength and dominance in the city.

The Tyne Bridge. When you first get to the Toon, it is the one thing that really stands out, when I used to live there I used to always find the bridges fascinating and this one is so grand it is something you do not forget in a rush. Today’s photograph was taken whilst walking on the bridge in the morning. I cannot remember if it was a warm day as you can see that I have tampered with the colours of the photograph. The reason I wanted to take this picture was that I found the actual structure fascinating and I wanted an angle that really did show the arch and the wonders of it.

It is a weird place to walk on the Tyne Bridge because a lot of people use it to try and commit suicide so there are posters everywhere to try and uplift people and to make people aware it is not the only option. That is why I wanted to change the colour of the photograph – it was to make sure that whilst it shows the grand style of the bridge it connoted darkness as well.
