Tyneside 121022 4827
Views of and from the road deck of the High Level Bridge across the River Tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle. 12 November 2022 as the light fades at the end of an almost cloudless afternoon.
Looking east from the road deck of the High Level Bridge, one of seven very different structures that link Newcastle (left) to Gateshead (right). Close at hand is the 1876 Swing Bridge, at the time of opening the largest such in the world. Beyond is the 531ft steel span of the 1928 Tyne Bridge, still the largest of the type in Britain, and further away still is the 2001 opened Millennium Bridge, the world's first tilting bridge, where the 800 ton span tilts to allow ships to pass.
Partly hidden behind the south towers of the Tyne Bridge is The Glasshouse (formerly Sage) Gateshead, an internationally renowned music and performance venue. The orange colour is a reflection of the setting sun (behind the camera) - for a detail see picture 4829.
