One of the routes through the sand dunes at South Shields' Littlehaven Beach.
In the distance, the Tynemouth Pier and lighthouse where the waters of Tyne meet the North Sea.
Always reminds me of one of the scenes in the film adaptation of the BBC TV comedy series 'The Likely Lads'.
Aware that some reading this might be a bit too young to have been around when the series was aired on TV and never seen the film, the storyline generally follows the lives and friendship of two young working class men, Terry Collier (James Bolam) and Bob Ferris (Rodney Bewes).
In the movie adaptation, there is a scene filmed on the pier where Bob and Terry are chatting about the future direction of their lives.
Bob turns to Terry and memorably remarks: "In the chocolate box of life, he top layer's already gone."
He briefly pauses, then adds: "And someone's pinched the orange creme from the bottom!"

Cormorants and other seabirds atop a rocky outcrop near Lizard Point in Marsden Bay, South Tyneside.
In the background the lighthouses that mark the entrance to the River Tyne, the view extending further up the coast to the white-painted lighthouse on St Mary's Island at Whitley Bay.

@MarkOnArt@mindly.social
Georgia based visual artist. I spent a decade working in cubicle land and then took a career break to travel that never exactly ended. I support myself with my Digital Art and Photography - Do I miss a steady paycheck? Some days, yes, but overall I love creating too much to imagine going back. Currently raising funds for cataract surgery (see links for details).

After a day of strong winds and driving rain, it was all calm today in the wake of Storm Chandra, the UK's third named storm of the year.
It was still a bit misty and murky along Sunderland's seafront in NE England, but infinitely better than what was being thrown our way 24 hours ago.
These dog-walkers were pictured heading along the Seaburn/Roker promenade towards the Cat & Dog Steps beach at lunchtime today.

I'm a #boater, and a #blues and #gospel #musician. I dabble in #webdesign and #wildlife #photography. At least, those are the things I'm most likely to post about. Also play #boardgames in my "spare" time, but don't have much of that. I was born in 1948. Last paid full-time work: 1998. No paid part-time work since 2009. Now live on the edge of a #village on the #coast of #Norfolk, close to the #norfolkbroads. #fedi22

We have always made a #habit of #eatingout on a #Friday evening. Since our house move this has often at a #pub in the neighbouring village of #Hemsby #Norfolk
Those in the #uk will be aware that the #coast is moving rapidly inland there and with each new #storm more #clifftop #houses are lost to the #sea
I wonder what message the #landlord has in mind with a poster on the restaurant wall that reads:
Memories Made On The Beach Last A Lifetime
