Windows to the soul of another world

Taken under the High Level Bridge in Newcastle, this shadow display was on the side of the Bridge Hotel near the keep of the Newcastle castle.

The passer by was a wonderful bonus.

    I hope they never decide to repaint the hotel windows with darker colour, they would ruin the view (at least it would make thee value of your shot rise to summits !!!)
