An ancient wooden jetty at the mouth of the River Tyne in North East England. Thinking about how I would have processed this image in the darkroom back in the day. Choosing the right contrast printing paper, with a bit of 'dodging' and 'burning in' – you had to be there!
Loved the 'old school' photography processes (which I once thought would never be beaten by this digital malarky), but the truth is, I could never go back to sloshing chemicals about to create an image!

Spotted this stained glass window in St Mark's Church, Millfield in Sunderland on a Heritage Open Day visit.
Portraying England's patron St George attempting to fight off a fearsome-looking dragon.
Although St George never actually set foot in England, his reputation for virtue and holiness had spread far and wide across Europe.
St George's feast day, the 23rd April, began to be celebrated in England from the 9th century onwards and following the 'Battle of Agincourt' in 1415, St George's Day became one of the most important feast days in the English calendar.
