This shot is the walkway of the High Level Bridge. The oldest of the existing bridges, the High Level opened in 1849. Previous bridges had been at a low level, but to avoid steep climbs at either end, a bridge must cross the Tyne gorge much higher. When the need arose for a railway bridge to link the south of England with Newcastle and Edinburgh a high level crossing was a necessity.
View of the Swing Bridge, Tyne Bridge, and Millennium Bridge from the High Level:

When the Millennium Bridge was built, a lot of work went into illuminating the bridge without causing light pollution. The effect is amazing. To find out about the bridge’s light schemes, click here.
As Cassandra gets Sunday this week, I tried to cheat with a two picture Saturday and post a video of the bridge so you could watch the colours change on the arch. But I couldn’t get it to upload over here. I’ll post it over on my blog instead - click through if you’d like to watch.

You rarely see a picture of the Sage by night. Mostly you see pictures of it during the daytime, a silvery slug on the Gateshead bank of the river. But it looks entirely different by night.

Just a thirty second walk from Vulcan, round the back of the telegraph, Reach For The Stars sits in-between 2 buildings.
Many thanks to Mike for helping me find this place!
