“Sanddancers”
Children on Sandhaven Beach, South Shields
People from South Shields are known as “Sanddancers”, don’t ask me to explain why, there is already enough disagreement on that subject. Perhaps you might want to search the internet for some help.
Anyway, these children seem to be having a merry old dance on Sandhaven’s broad beach in South Shields.
The Alum Ale House, South Shields
First port of call
The Alum Ale House is located on the Ferry Landing in South Shields, the site was formerly a chemical works from which the pub derives it’s name. This spot has had a pub there for many, many, years, and in the days of wooden hulled long masted traders, the ale house would likely have been the first port of call for many a tar!
This is a pub which sells a variety of real ales and it has it’s own website too!
The grungy effect was created in Photoshop with a yellow layer, masked and painted on with some odd shaped brushes.
Catch the wind
Kite flying, Sandhaven Beach, South Shields
Some days it’s good just to catch the wind and fly a kite on the beach, no matter what your age.
I’ve tried to replicate the effect of infra red film with a Photoshop action for this shot.
South Shields Daily Photo is away on holiday again this week but pictures have been loaded in advance for you to enjoy.
