BALTIC SUNSET
Newcastle Quayside at sunset. December 2010.
The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, stands on the left hand side, adjacent to the 'Winking Eye' Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
Beyond both structures can be seen the Sage Gateshead music centre and the world-famous Tyne Bridge.
The Baltic was formerly a flour mill, built by the Rank Hovis company in 1950. It was extended in 1957 by the addition of an animal feed mill. The mill was closed in 1981 before re-opening as a centre for art in 2002.
The Newcastle and Gateshead Quaysides are now a thriving, cosmopolitan area with bars, restaurants and public spaces.
Location: Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK.
