First drone picture of Durham

Durham Cathedral is in the background. Picture taken from the North Road area of Durham


This is my first image taken using a drone. Took a bit of time to get there as I was working out the no fly zones, obviously the smaller ones are related to drones, however the large no fly zone relates to helicopters.

S&DR200 Locomotion No.1

Replica of Locomotion No. 1 I had a great time Friday just gone in Shildon, watching the start of the replica journey along the Stockton and Darlington Railway of the Locomotion No. 1 (replica) as part of #railway200. The original journey took place on 27th September 1825 starting in Shildon making its way to Stockton. The original train was built by Robert Sephenson in Newcastle. I had my camera phone ready and this was the photo which I managed to take of the train. Shildon Locomotion Museum

When Durham Reminds Us to Look Up

View of Elvet Bridge Here’s an iconic view of Durham City, looking out towards Elvet Bridge. We walk past it most days on the way to the car. It’s a beautiful sight during the day, but it becomes something truly special at night. It’s so easy to take for granted the beauty we see every day. As the saying goes, when it’s gone, it’s gone — and that’s when we miss it. In a world filled with so much brokenness, it’s easy to get pulled into the despair of it all and find ourselves asking, is there more than this?
