Weekly Highlights (13/06/2010)

It was raining quite a lot at the start of the week. Fortunately it cleared by the weekend and I took a trip to the north of England.

This is a photo from about Tuesday while waiting for the bus to go to work:

On Friday I went to Carlisle for a few hours, and visited a few places around the railway station:

Then I boarded the next train to Newcastle. At around 10:30 PM the sun started setting providing beautiful picturesque scenery. Unfortunately my camera was not able to capture even a tenth of the feeling, but a little is better than nothing:

I arrived at Newcastle where I spent the night at a hotel on Dean St. Not without going for a drink or two with some mates I knew through the internet from over 10 years ago, finally meeting them in real life. I left Newcastle at 7 AM to go to Middlesbrough. The following picture was taken on the train while leaving Newcastle:

At Middlesbrough I merely made a minute’s stop, then took a taxi to Guisborough. Nice little town it is:

Finally I made my way back to M’bro at 2:30 PM, and watched the game (Argentina-Nigeria) in a really interesting pub. It was decorated with incredibly old furniture (really comfortable by the way) and all the TV flat-screens were lined with picture frames. It had old-school wallpaper from the 20s-30s, and wooden floor that seemed at least fifty years old. A rather interesting place to watch the match:

So then I headed back to Glasgow finally. It was a great weekend for taking pictures, you can see more of them on my flickr stream.
