Roker's Cat & Dog Steps Beach on Sunderland's seafront looking just stunning in the bright warm sunshine of late August.
Must admit, that on a day like this (Monday morning), this is probably one of my favourite views along our lovely stretch of coast.
On an in-coming tide, love seeing the sunlight sparkling on the sea, reflecting the clear blue skies and contrasting against the golden sandy beach below.

Some really low tides just recently, in fact they were both the lowest (and highest) of the year.
Always interesting to explore parts of the coast that for the rest of the year are hidden under water.
A huge wide sweep of the Cat & Dogs Steps beach at Roker on the coast of NE England is also great for catching reflections of the sky.
Worth paying a visit for a low-tide 'plodge' and although you might have missed the very lowest, the next low 'spring tide' occurs on Thursday August 27 at 10.09am.

The boats and buildings of Roker's North Dock Marina pictured against blue skies and drenched in August sunshine.
Often referred to as the 'Roker Riviera', on a day like this, it lives up to that nickname.
Always remember photographing Sir Charles Blyth CBE BEM (known as 'Chay' Blyth), the Scottish yachtsman and rower who was the first person to sail single-handed non-stop westwards around the world, on a 59-foot boat called British Steel.
Chay was called upon to officially open the Marine Activities Centre which is based down at the marina.
