#AlphabetChallenge #WeekCforCurves #UrbanGaze Night time on the Quayside, Newcastle upon Tyne Towards the illuminated Millennium Bridge and on the Gateshead side of the Tyne, The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art (Oct 2025) #newcastle #gateshead #tyne #bridges #baltic #photography #eastcoastkin

A night time view from the Quayside, Newcastle upon Tyne looking towards the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, a pedestrian and cyclist bridge that spans the River Tyne in North East England, connecting Gateshead's Quays with the Quayside of Newcastle upon Tyne.
The large supporting arch above the bridge deck is illuminated in blue high powered lights. The colour of the lights change constantly.
The blue arch is reflected in the still waters of the river, as are the coloured LED lights on the bridge deck.
On the opposite (Gateshead) side of the river is the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, a converted flour mill that now serves as a major international art venue.
The street lights and tall buildings on this opposite side of the river also appear as multicoloured shimmering reflections on the river.
The dark sky has some streaky white clouds.
The bridge has won numerous awards, including the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2002 for its innovative design.
Completed in 2001 and opened in 2002, it is the world's first tilting bridge, nicknamed the "Winking Eye" for its unique design, which allows large ships to pass beneath by pivoting the entire structure on its foundations.
The bridge features two steel arches, with the deck forming the pedestrian and cycle path and the larger supporting arch providing the tilting mechanism.

A night time river view just after sunset from the Gateshead Millennium Bridge in the North East of England. Looking along the River Tyne towards the arched steel outline of the Tyne Bridge spanning the river. Behind the bridge is the orange glow of the sunset.
The large supporting arch above the Millennium bridge deck is illuminated in a gradient of colours from yellow on the left through to turquoise on the right using high powered lights. The colour of the lights change constantly.
The lights from the buildings on the quayside are reflected in the water.
On the left hand (Gateshead) side of the river is the Glasshouse International Centre for Music, and on the right hand (Newcastle-upon-Tyne) side are illuminated buildings by the Quayside.
