Lindisfarne & The Angel of The North

I got to spend an a lovely night and day bobbing around the Northumberland coast and the island of Lindisfarne (a.k.a. Holy Island) recently. Lindisfarne is a tidal island which gets cut off from the mainland twice a day when the North Sea rises over it’s connecting causeway (if you’re planning a visit be sure to check the tide timetable before setting off to avoid ending up like this).  Happily marooned there for half a day I took the opportunity to take some photos around the island, including some long exposures of the rising tide.

I wanted to capture some of the tranquility of this beautiful little island and the coastline that surrounds it. I’ve also included a few shots of Anthony Gormley’s  ‘Angel of the North’, which was a quick stop on the way home.
