Saltwell Park In The Snow

On the afternoon and evening of December 28th 2000 there was a heavy snowfall. The next morning I set off around the town taking nearly 80 photos. Some of these can be found in my albums for the Angel of the North, the Tyne Bridge and Civic Buildings, but I also spent an hour in Saltwell Park from which these photos derive.
