Fog on the Tyne

.

.
Fog was draped like a damp grey veil around the Tyne Bridge today. This photo was taken at lunchtime. Newcastle is not an especially foggy place, but a well known song called Fog on The Tyne was recorded by local group Lindisfarne whose album of the same name reached No. 1 in the UK album charts in 1972. Newcastle United footballer Paul Gascoigne released a version of the song in 1990 which reached number two in the UK singles chart.

  1. I wonder if we crossed paths yesterday. I was also down there at lunchtime taking a few snaps and I seen a few photographers.
    I was with a guy with a ponytail if that helps you remember.

  4. Steve; quite probably, I saw 3 others with cameras whilst I was there briefly; I was heading Westwards.

    Rachel; thank you... and all clear today!
