What I'm Listening To: How To Save A Life by The Fray
About 4 hours later, we arrived from London's Kings Cross station into central Newcastle. It was a wonderful ride there. The views are lovely this time of year. The lush rolling green hills of Britain peppered with sheep and horses. Sadie and I noticed all the baby animals as we passed. They were precious. It all was breathtaking. I clicked my iPod to Joshua Radin and just enjoyed the view as we made our way along the tracks...SO RELAXING!
I snapped these images on our arrival platform in Newcastle. The top image is what I saw as I hopped off the train and the bottom image is of the curved skylights weaving their way throughout the station. The weather while we were gone was wonderful so it really added to these shots that I managed to get from the windows and skylights.
I definitely wanted to give my thanks to the better half and my daughter for waiting for me while I took so may shots in the station. It has become second nature for my family members to make sure I am actaully still behind them when they are walking away, so they don't forget me somewhere as I capture all I see...
Thanks for always being so patient with me when you see me reaching for the camera!

Wonderful "railroady" shots. You have done a great job capturing the feel of the station.
I particularly like that curved station platform shot. I don't know of any in the States currently or past.
Glad you had a good time. Take care.
Anna, I really like the second photo. The curves are nice and I like the "flow" of the light as it curves to the right.
I'd wait for you too. They know how much pleasure your photography brings you, and they want to share in the joy, I'm sure!
the second one is very cool...neat curves! it kind of looks like a snakeskin......
Anna,
I love trains, and I envy the Europeans for having so many railroads. Here in Brazil, unfortunately, railroads were abandoned long ago in favor of highways, and now there aren't many passenger lines left. Fortunately, a few old stations were restored and found new uses. At least we can marvel at the beauty of their architecture...
Great images, especially that second one!
i really like how all your pictures seem really illuminated. nice pictures
love the curvyness anna
wait...you're in Newcastle? Will you snap some pics along the river and of St James Park if you get a chance? hope you're having fun!
ah, I remember standing there....
agree with blue mountain mama and others - the second shot is a really really fantastic image
i have travelled pretty extensively in the States and it is a beautiful and stunning country - but there is nothing like the rolling gren hills of england in spring - glad you loved it
Anna, I think you ought to see all the photos at this site:

especially the one of the giraffe today!!
anna,
enjoy your time away...am so jealous. have you been to Food For Thought in Neal's Yard? In Convent Gardens? Love that place. Nat
Very nice images Anna!
I love these. I have read so many novels set in England over the years, that all the names of places on your blog, I've heard of. Now I have a bit of imagery to associate with them.
That second photo of the windows curving away is great. I like the train station one on top too, it's like a street photograph.
What a fun day. That picture of the ceiling lights with the dof is really great. It would make an interesting framed photo.
The composition of that second shot is just awesome!!!!
In a weird sort of way the Station Lines seem not too unlike the skeletal structure of a centipede from the inside out. No, my butter has not completely slipped off my biscuit (yet). Get home soon!!
Love, Dad
Fantastic geometries, Anna. I felt a great empathy for you as I viewed these images: it wasn't so long ago that I found myself in a similar place, shooting both side-on images and perspectives. The frightening parallels continue :)
Please accept my apologies for being a blog-stranger of late. Work has been beyond crazy thanks to the big BlackBerry outage. I have been speaking with reporters from the early morning until late at night, then cramming through the night to get ready for the next day.
I'm getting amazing press - including some frighteningly huge media outlets - but it's left me with no time or energy to catch up with my friends online.
I hope things slow down soon. I need a break!
