Because of 'Wear' in your 'narrative', this must be the Tyne river, Richie. Great composition larded with a wonderful dramatic sky, resulting in a very moody landscape image!

Edit: both Richie and Bob have told me that my assumption being the river Tyne, in spite that I had high figures for geography during my school time, was incorrect. It's the river Wear however.
One is never too old to learn, ☺ . Thanks for the correction!

Very dark but beautiful capture along the river. Those skies do look ominous.

This is just personal opinion, but the sky seems overly strong, distracting from the center of the scene. Also, there seems to be a "glow" around the castle that makes it look artificial. Given the reflections in the pond, I would expect a brighter sky.

Drama is unfolding before my eyes in this one R. Nice! ...S.

Fabulous shot...love the old bridge and architecture...great angle and beautifully composed...great work and a fave for me.

Great scene Ritchie - love that ominous sky lingering over the castle!!!!!!!!!!

Such a gorgeous view and scene - outstanding capture

It is a beautiful scene but what draws my interest is the very bottom of the photo. It appears that you are shooting from some man made tributary, the river water pouring around the open edges of a concrete barrier, almost like a very shallow dam. Makes my imagination turn.

Well, simply stunning. Actually this is breathtaking. Bravo.
