Morpeth viaduct crossing the River Wansbeck in Northumberland[/caption]The Viaduct
A recent spell without transport allowed us the chance to find Northumberland landscapes in the more local area of Morpeth.
Following the River Wansbeck right through Morpeth we found a crossing just before the mill on the Whorral Bank, crossed over and kept going.
To our delight, there was a huge viaduct hidden along the valley. I had heard of the viaduct but was unsure of its location and wasn't expecting to run into it today.
The sun was providing dappled light through the trees and the river was lazy so the refelections were looking particularly good beneath the viaduct.

The Shot
It was very calm that day and there was little wind to upset the surface of the water. The River was lazy and the clouds were not moving so a long exposure would have provided no obvious benefit.

Getting there ...
You can park in Morpeth and follow the river or there is a layby on the main road, under the NHS Health Centre as you leave Morpeth, just before you start to climb up the Whorral Bank.
