Hello from the Gateshead Millennium Bridge in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England! Whew! That’s a mouthful. This is the world’s first and only tilting bridge. What? 🙀 I didn’t even know something like this existed. Did you? I’m really thankful my Couchsurfing host @aadityakapil brought me here. I was feeling really demotivated with the rain, so it was nice to be encouraged by another human. I didn’t even know it tilted until my new friend informed me. I didn’t believe him at first because the bridge looked so…set in place. But he brought me to the side and I saw the mechanical parts that would’ve allowed it to rotate. Just an amazing engineering feat. Also, check out the colors in the sunset. Doesn’t this look like a supernova? And yes, I carry a liter of orange juice in public. I’m getting ahead of flu season 😹🍊 #chasingcrystal #newcastleupontyne #newcastleupontyneuk #gatesheadmillenniumbridge #solofemaletraveler #ladyriders #motodistancing (at Newcastle upon Tyne) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuC_rYItc2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A commissioned oil painting on 22 carat gold leaf of Newcastle’s quayside from 2019. Painted in an Art Deco style, it depicts the Sage, Gateshead, the millennium bridge and the river Tyne. The gold leaf takes on some wonderful effects depending on the lighting conditions. Painting on gold leaf in this style takes twice as long as most oil paintings as you have to give each colour two coats to get the right amount of depth to the pigment. However, the results are worth it. I hung the painting in the clients living room to go with the three other paintings they had purchased. My work has transformed the look of the room and they are delighted. #sage #gateshead #gatesheadmillenniumbridge #newcastlequayside #tynebridges #artdeco #goldleaf #22caratgold #oilpainting #sagegateshead (at Alan Reed Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVckXyFoAqp/?utm_medium=tumblr
