Out and about in the New Year despite miserable and very cold weather.

The clock at Tynemouth Upper Street, afternoon
The clock tower at Tynemouth, the ruined Abbey in the background.  This is around three thirty pm on a Sunday, and a bit of sunshine suddenly appeared.

Waves crashing over Tynemouth harbour.

From the warmth of the car
Standing in sleet and wind on the harbour at Tynemouth to take pictures of the waves.  They were huge, although the pix don't really demonstrate that.
There were about thirty cars parked, with families eating chips and doughnuts, watching the sea.
St Mary's lighthouse, a couple of miles north of Whitley Bay
Snow - a tiny bit, anyway
The lighthouse at St Mary's island.  Must have been, oh, about four thirty pm by this point.  That's the moon. 
Same weekend - schnee!  This was about as much as I saw.  Saw loads more on my travels, though - fabulous views of snow-capped hills from M6 and A1.
