Here are some snaps I took today – I bought a new Nikon D3100 so I had to try it out! 🙂
Newcastle is famous (or infamous, depending how you look at it!) for wild nights out involving a flurry of fake tan, skimpy outfits and cheap drinks, and it’s pretty much considered the drinking capital of the UK. To be honest, I don’t think many people outside of the North East realise that the city has much more to offer than bargain booze and fancy dress nights out. One of my favourite things about it is the architecture – Newcastle, especially the city centre and the Quayside (riverside), is a lovely mixture of 15th-19th century houses, crooked Medieval-style streets and modern buildings. PERFECT for taking photos! :

Explore! 
What cool photos! Those buildings are fantastic. Have fun with the D3100! 🙂
Thanks, Im sure I will! 🙂
Never knew Newcastle was that pretty. Must visit sometime. Love the last shot.
thank you! If you ever come to Newcastle, make sure you visit Durham – its only 5 min away on the train and its even prettier!
Ah yes, I have definitely heard good things about Durham. Will be visiting there soon, hopefully.
Love the 2nd B&W shot! I miss that city
Newcastle was the beginning of my walk across the whole country, along Hadrian’s Wall: http://andreasmoser.wordpress.com/2011/06/12/hadrians-wall/
