Nature re-asserts herself

I had meetings in Newcastle yesterday and once again I had time to kill between them so I took a trip up to the high lands above Greenside, former mining village and a place I’d never been before.  The views across the Tyne valley were stunning and showed little evidence of the former industrial scenes from the last century Our landscape changes constantly, shaped by both the forces of weather and man but the ability of nature to re-assert itself to create visions of awe inspiring beauty, despite the ravages of abuse that it sustains, never fails to inspire me.
