CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

Sunset over St Wulfram's, Grantham. This weekend we spent two days up in Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. We stayed in Berwick-upon-Tweed and visited North Berwick, Kelso, Newton-on-the-Sea and Durham. I will be posting images on these visits in the next few days. After a long, boring trip back down the A1 to Grantham, we were greeted home by a spectacular sunset over the town. A quick stop to capture the colours over St Wulfram's Church before heading back to the house for a much needed cup of coffee. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALL IMAGES ARE THE PROPERTY OF MACLEAN PHOTOGRAPHIC AND CANNOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE WITHOUT PRIOR PERMISSION If you like what you see on this blog please visit our  Facebook  page and click 'like' MORE IMAGES CAN BE VIEWED ON  FLICKR  AND ON OUR  WEBSITE
