Bench with a view by

This watcher of tides repetition waits,
the Cyclops of stone awakens,
this billowing beast of winter storm rages,
soon to land it’s rage upon this place.

A bench over looking Tynemouth Harbour gets a grandstand view of a winter snow storm driven in from the North Sea.

Converted into black and white and best viewed large.

Shot on an Olympus E30.

Featured by the kind hosts of The Wide Angle Photography and Benches Group and The Black and White Enthusiast Group and The Story through Image Group
