Whitley Pillows

An overcast but calm August morning just after high tide at St Mary's Island on the North East coast of England with the causeway just about clear enough to allow access to the island. The island is situated near the town of Whitley Bay and is cut off from the mainland each high tide as the water covers the causeway at that time. The calm conditions enabled a lovely reflection to show on the calm waters of the North Sea.

Super Mam!

Whitley Bay is on the North East coast of England and is not blessed with wall to wall sunshine too often, but this July morning it looked as if it might have been on the Mediterranean coast (with a bit of imagination!). St Mary's Island and Lighthouse can be spotted through the gap in the sculpture.

The lighthouse on St. Mary’s Island in Whitley Bay, Northumberland, was constructed in 1898 using some of the stone from the former priory on the island. St. Mary’s lighthouse was decommissioned in 1984m after which North Tyneside Council opened it as a visitor attraction. The lighthouse became a Grade II listed building in 2012 and St. Mary’s Island is now a nature reserve.
