Did anyone read about the Hartlepool fisherman who went missing ? His boat was found with the engine still running. I took this from our bedroom window when they were searching :-

by Daffy » 09 Apr 2006 07:14 pmIs that near the cinema? or is it a nightclub? Don't know Redcar very well apart from the seafront but love a walk at South Gare. Daffy

by oldtimer » 09 Apr 2006 10:08 pmYes Daffy, I was stood just a little past the cinema...
Had a walk under Huntcliffe at Saltburn tonight as it was low tide and looking back towards the Pier was almost like fire...A brilliant evening for any snappers to try out their digi cameras..

by oldtimer » 12 Apr 2006 11:50 pmIt is not hard to see why I take more sunrises and sunsets than most other stuff..here in Redcar we have the most startling effects and almost every day sees something different....I take a jog along the beach most mornings just after sunrise and usually take a camera of some sorts with me so not surprising I get a few decent shots...who wouldn't ?

by Benny » 02 May 2006 10:03 pmAll this talk of photography has got me searching through my files! I was quite keen on the hobby in my youth and although my Pentax ME Super is long gone, I still carry my trusty digital with me everywhere I go.
This shot was taken on the Cleveland way at Skelton Green, the path leads to Skelton and onto Saltburn, the sea is usually visible from here but that mean looking cloud blocked it out.
This was taken at 07:30 one March morning last year, whilst Doug and I were attempting the penultimate leg of the long distance walk.
Thanks to Jaynie & Ken for your help.

by Ken » 02 May 2006 10:58 pmYou certainly can , Benny. That is such a magnificent pic. To avoid the usual accusations of favouritism, I`ll resize it for you.
Jaynie`s suggestion is a good one. Personally I use Adobe Photoshop. It only takes a few seconds to reduce to the accepted size.

by Benny » 03 May 2006 12:51 pmYes, that was the second to last leg of our project to walk the Cleveland Way in stages.
The day of the photo, we set off at 07:00 from The Fox & Hounds, Slapewath and trekked as far as Skinningrove, if not for the weather, we would have made it home.
As you said, we must do it again, sometime....preferably in Summer!
With a supply of Extra Cold Guinness laid on!The attached photo is taken in the opposite direction to the first, from Skelton Green towards Slapewath.

It was all quite bizarre. The first woman to come out of the water was blowing a large conche shell. The sound was amazing. It must travel for miles. They then appeared to break things that looked like coconuts on a large rock in the shallow water. Then a guy appeared with a huge plant pot on his head with water dripping all over him from it. Others then followed with plant pots full of sea water and pretty plants on their heads.
I was just off to the barbers when I spotted them emerging from the sea from the bedroom window. I decided to take my camera with me & took several shots on the way.
Funny old place --- Redcar !!

by Douglas » 04 May 2006 08:13 amThey are actually blessing their new chruch.They believe that the river Gangees is sacred, (as you probably already knew). They also believe that spiritually, ALL rivers and seas are conected, so that technically the North Sea is as holy to them as some of their most religious rivers in India.
By taking 'holy water' from Redcar beach, they are bringing good luck to their new church.

by Benny » 05 May 2006 01:36 pmHad to nip over to Redacr this morning, so as I was in the area I went up to Skelton Green and took this photo from the same spot I took the snowy one. It was beautiful up there, I could see for miles.

Sure do.
This one is overlooking Skelton, with Redcar and Hartlepool in the distance. Skelton castle can be seen in the rh side/middle. The village of Upleatham and New Marske woods are to the left of the pic.
