BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: TRACES OF THE PAST Y3-08
I happened to be in Newcastle upon Tyne on an important date for Britain, and was very happy to capture some of the celebratory atmosphere in the streets. As is often the case in my pictures, I applied selective colouring cause it just felt right.

What a wonderful shot of Newcastle – I wouldn’t have guessed where it was!
What a fantastic part of the country to visit Paula – I just never spend enough time up there.
I had a Traces of the Past post brewing and will be back with it soon.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I remember the cathedral in Newcastle. I only saw it at night (it is very well lit). Your point of view is very well chosen and the look from below the arch is ver expressive. It takes the position of looking out and although it takes away the immediacy, this perspective works wonderfully for the topic. As I’ve explained in my contribution this influenced me in what I chose to show. https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2017/08/20/past-and-present/

Hi Paula
I adore the photo you chose for this blast from the past post of yours.myes I know its old, and that makes it literally traces from the past. Your image of the Cathedral evokes so much history. It is exquisite.
Here’s one from me with a trace of the last:
