Can you get a better view in a city...?

Excuse the EXTREMELY ghetto stitching of images (couldn't be bothered :/) and...clicky...that's nearly 1Mb btw...dialup killah!

It's so quiet here...

At night it's absolutely beautiful.

At this time of year, the sun sets just to the left of the church spire you can see on the opposite bank.

I work in the building with the white dome on the opposite bank, just past the first bridge.

I have lived in Newcastle all my life and its a great place

My house is *just* up from the church spire. Would you mind if I grab the photo (with a few touchups so you cant see the lines, and add your name to it) to put on the wall please?

If thats where you live ill start the smoke signals now..

Nice...erm...tower blocks.

ArmoVanBuuren · 3 Jun 2006 at 14:24

Nice pics, would be interested in the touched up version. Lovely view

GSDog · 3 Jun 2006 at 14:25

Looks nicer here in the countryside, tbh.

SidewinderINC · 3 Jun 2006 at 14:27

as far as a city goes thats a pretty damn good view excluding the tower blocks

penski · 3 Jun 2006 at 14:36

Yeah that's where I live, Craig...

Cruddas Park (the tower blocks) is a bit of a minging place to be honest but I quite like the colours of it...Don't like the shape but the colours are quite appealing.

At night you can hardly see the tower blocks...And there are lights all along the waters' edge that reflect in the water...Quite beautiful.

I took this pic of the sunset a couple of weeks ago:

now thats a good view!

the towerblocks are just an outline which looks really nice, though as for colour in the daylight i think thats what makes them look a bit gash as you so put it

And this pic of an odd, vertical, spiralling cloud on the same night:

100% crop of the blocks...I don't know why but I like the yellows and browns they use...

The scenic bit of the thames always takes my breath away

penski · 3 Jun 2006 at 19:46

How close is that to London's center?

Amoeba · 3 Jun 2006 at 19:48

That's nothing compared to how Lancaster can look

I haven't got any photos to back this up though

Maybe I will go out with my camera one night and get some.

Serj · 3 Jun 2006 at 19:51

The views from campus at Aberystwyth are stunning, i'm sure someone must have a photo to post.....

Pho · 3 Jun 2006 at 19:57

Penski if you want to upload your source images I have some software to stitch photos together pretty seamlessly

penski · 3 Jun 2006 at 20:06

There's ten of them - about 2.6Mb apiece... (3072x2304)

Maybe a 50% resize...?

Pho · 3 Jun 2006 at 20:11

Yeah, 50% would be good

georges · 3 Jun 2006 at 20:34

Large fields, hedges, tall popler trees and horses if I look out of my window..

I win

The contrasting architectural styles of the waterfront of Liverpool. Shame this pic doesn't go a little more to the right to take in the Anglican Cathedral as well.
