A Visit To Seaham Co Durham North East England

A day out at Seaham on the North East Coast of the UK with two friends. We have all had strokes (Brain Attacks) and been chatting to each other in a stroke survivors chat room for some time...And on this Wednesday the 9th September 2009 we met for the first time, in the seaside town of Seaham..Some 120 miles from where Keith H and I live. Keith A lives in the town and showed Keith H and I (Brain) around the area.. and the photos below are a record of that day...

The memorial to the miners and the names and ages on that are worth looking at closer as young boys of 14 years of age died in the pits ....
The photos are of the two Keith's ... Keith A wears the glasses the other is Keith H.

Keith A also does art work in metal welding and also paints by using his one good hand teaching himself this after his stroke (Brain attack), I have taken Photos of his work and will be posting some of his welding art soon ....I must stress that Keith only has the use of one hand even to take photographs. Keith's work can also be seen at this link to Flickr

ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 3 = H = HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND

This week is highland week around Loch Long and the scottish village of Arrochar just two miles west of Loch Lomond. The loch is tidel and the small building on the far side was used to test torpedos, but has been badly burnt since it closed. It was early morning when the photos with the low clouds were taken, no wind and fantastic refections.


The last four photos are of Arrochar church or kirk and what I think is interesting information within the church yard or cemetary, the light that fell on this church in the early morning was really made it look really beautiful, if you enlarge this one picture you will see what I am talking about, but all are best seen enlarged if you have time.

HORNSEA MERE EAST YORKSHIRE ENGLAND

Hornsea Mere is the largest fresh water lake or Mere in East Yorkshire, I stand to be corrected on this point, It's on the East Coast of England south of Bridlington.

To explain the blue of the water it was a very sunny day bright blue skies and with the water being shallow it makes it look more blue then it is.

Not one person had a rowing or sailing boat out the day we were there, the again even being sunny it was very cold and at times windy, as you can see even the geese sheltered under the large tree.

The same person being in the photo three times was put together from three different photos taken first from one side of the seat then the other and last from standing at the back by my friend in RAW format, they were then put together in Photoshop.

Please click on photos to make larger and see more detail!

My next photo blog will be of Burnby Gardens they have the National Collections of water lillies as well as beautiful walks and gardens.
