Re: Love In The Air
They have formed a near perfect heart shape between their beaks. Good capture even though the weather was rubbish everywhere.Blackadder: "Allow me to be the first to offer Dr. Johnson my most sincere contrafibularities! I am anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused him such pericombobulation."

Re: Love In The Air
Well spotted and definitely a lovely change from the usual Geordie hinnies on the pier!!
I'm also old enough to still remember the crane that used to work on those rails I guess sometime in the late 60s/early 70s, and the sense of excitement when you had to walk underneath it - the other leg of the crane was on the lower level of the pier hidden from viwe to the right of your photo.

Re: Love In The Air
It was one of those shots I was struggling to see through the view finder and only noticed the heart shape when I can to process the shot.
Nice to know how the crane worked as I was wondering thatwhen I was walking along the pier.

1/. The early crane, used for reconstructing the pier
2/. A later bigger crane which is probably the one that I remember as a child
The old crane used in the original construction of the pier was still used for repairs, but got replaced by a modern lighter crane not long after this. The new crane didn't last very long! Although it may have been removed because the old iron rails were becoming too badly corroded for reliable use and it was cheaper to hire a crane when needed. The newer crane can be viewed at; www.heritage-explorer.co.uk/web/he/searchdetail.aspx?id=3... And in my 1985 picture here; www.flickr.com/photos/59662214@N06/33157698475 Interesting to see where parking was still allowed in those days - and the cars parked there. 3 cars in this shot. I think it's a Riley on the left, a Standard 8 or 10, then a Ford Prefect.
Only the upper level was open to the public and I seem to remember that it could be closed off, presumably when the crane was being worked, by a chap on the gate near the start of the pier - was there a little hut? Not totally confident with my memory though!

Re: Love In The Air
You captured the moment well, Michael, and it is none the worse for the dull conditions - it's the timing which really counts in this shot.John

Re: Love In The Air
Had a quick search on the net and here are links to two images with the crane in situ
1/. The early crane, used for reconstructing the pier
2/. A later bigger crane which is probably the one that I remember as a child
http://www.flickr.com/photos/59662214@N06/5860632449/to see what it used to look like
