  1. Some really low tides just recently, in fact they were both the lowest (and highest) of the year.
    Always interesting to explore parts of the coast that for the rest of the year are hidden under water.
    A huge wide sweep of the Cat & Dogs Steps beach at Roker on the coast of NE England is also great for catching reflections of the sky.
    Worth paying a visit for a low-tide 'plodge' and although you might have missed the very lowest, the next low 'spring tide' occurs on Thursday August 27 at 10.09am.

  2. The boats and buildings of Roker's North Dock Marina pictured against blue skies and drenched in August sunshine.
    Often referred to as the 'Roker Riviera', on a day like this, it lives up to that nickname.
    Always remember photographing Sir Charles Blyth CBE BEM (known as 'Chay' Blyth), the Scottish yachtsman and rower who was the first person to sail single-handed non-stop westwards around the world, on a 59-foot boat called British Steel.
    Chay was called upon to officially open the Marine Activities Centre which is based down at the marina.

  3. Feeling unseasonably mild this afternoon on a wander this around Roker in Sunderland.
    It might have been overcast, but temperatures were nudging 18°C, which for 5 November is positively balmy.
    For those unfamiliar with corner of North East England, this is a view across the North Dock Marina, a parking space for small leisure and a fishing boat or two.
    Always remember the day I photographed round-the-world yachtsman Chay Blyth, CBE, when he paid a visit to Roker to officially open the new £1 million marina – seems like yesterday, but in fact it was around 25 years ago!

  5. @Dolphinchaz thank you!

    We usually see them regularly around this time of year, south of you in #WhitleyBay, but they seem to prefer #Roker #Sunderland at the moment, a little further south from me. 💙

    De politie is op zoek naar een man die twintig jaar geleden een shagje heeft gerookt in de woning van kastelein Fokko Werkman in het Friese dorp Haule. Werkman is door geweld om het leven gebracht. De politie vermoedt dat de roker kort voor de dood van Werkman in het huis achter het café is geweest. Het coldcaseteam...

  7. Sunshine at Roker, Sunderland – weather records show the start of Spring 2023 in the UK has been cloudier, cooler and wetter than average, but more settled high pressure conditions are on the way (hooray!).

  8. Deep, deep blue skies and sparkling sunshine down at Sunderland's Roker Marina this afternoon – just need to get those temperatures bumped up a bit and we'll be laughing!

  9. Not so much the Gold Coast, more cold coast. Sunderland's Roker beach, pier and lighthouse on a cold December day after a dusting of snow.
