Very unusual capture David and fantastic treatment.

I knew you must have taken a photo of the Fat Seasiders when you had shown us your other South Shields photos. I think they are great, some gossiping one will shake your hand, they are just fab and your treatment of the picture has shown up their details wonderfully.

Hiya Heather,
Thank you very much for your comment.
Next time you are in South Shields just ask one of the locals where the Weebles are and you will be pointed in the right direction.
