At last! I've managed to upload this image taken with my little Sony Cyber-shot camera.
What a brilliant piece of engineering and design this bridge is. An inspiration to everyone who sees it, especially at night as we did after our cruise down the river Tyne - a once powerful river that witnessed many great engineering achievements and now, after the decline of heavy engineering in the north east, perhaps one of the finest salmon rivers in England!
It was a journey full of ghosts and memories: my teenage years were spent on the banks of the Tyne when I lived at Jarrow and then later at Hebburn.
