Travelled to Berwick today and there’s sun and blue skies. The ramparts of this walled town give great views down to Holy Island

Photo: Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island
Travelled north from Alnwick to Holy Island. The weather brightened and we had blue skies and great views whilst walking around.
Managed to get off the island before the tide came in over the causeway too! -
Photo: Cragside House
Been to Kielder Water and stopped off on the way back at Cragside House. Really pretty and eccentrically Victorian featuring the first electric lights and hydroelectric power.

Photo: The Angel of the North
Stopped here on the way from Durham to Alnwick. It’s really impressive when you’re close to it but I’m still not entirely convinced by the wings.

Photo: Durham Cathedral (#camerabag)
Very impressive cathedral with great cloisters. Hike up the hill to get there was fun.

Photo: Alnwick Garden – the cascade
Only a 5 minute walk from the cottage and we get to this. Great start to the proper holiday.

Photo: The secret door (#camerabag)
Last weekend I visited the National Trust property Packwood House. It’s a Jacobean house well known for its fantastic topiary garden but what caught my eye was this beautiful door. It looked gothic enough anyway but running it through the Magazine, Instant, Helga and Colorcross filters of camerabag just adds to the effect.

Photo: Twisted Metal (#camerabag)
??
In Montpellier there was a fence near the viaduct which had the most fantastic wrought iron railings. The ends of the fence were capped with twisting S shapes of spiky metal creating a stunning effect.
This photo was taken last June with my Sony A200 and has been edited in CameraBag for the Mac using Magazine, Instant, Helga and Colorcross filters with reprocessing.

Photo: Cliff above Saint-Guilhem-le-D??sert (#camerabag)
This picture was taken in Saint-Guilhem-le-D??sert whilst on holiday last June in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. Saint-Guilhem is an incredibly beautiful village above the gorge of the Herault River (itself a stunning shade of blue). The narrow sandy coloured streets climb between the river and the hills on an old pilgrim route. The remains of an ancient castle are visible in the cliffside in this photo. The village still has a large monastery at its heart but is more well known now for the artists and artisans who live and work in the village.
