Terris Novalis

I think i've mentioned the Terris Novalis art in my home town of Consett. The gleaming stainless steel replicas of the late 19th Century surveyor’s instruments are twenty times life size and weigh four and five tonnes made of stainless steel. They are the work of Turner prize winning Tony Cragg.

Tonight was the camera club meeting and it wasn't a very nice night, very grey, dull and bad light. But as always we decided to take some shots anyway of the Terris Novalis sculptures.

Newbiggin

I had a lovely day out today up the Northumberland coast, stopping at Newbiggin. Last time I was there the heavens opened, but today it was a glorious sunny day. Walking around the promenade I spotted the two life-sized figures of 'The Couple' statues that are in the middle of the sea. Newbiggin is a lovely little town and well worth a visit.
