Wearing purple...

The Tyne...

...just before dusk...
One of Ray Lonsdale's sculptures - he is soooo good! It is at Fiddler's Green, and is a memorial to fishermen lost at sea from North Shields. I have blipped it before, but not all lit up at night ;) 
The plaque on the base reads: “To the fishermen lost in the cold North Sea, and the ones who will be so, I’ll be seeing you all on Fiddler’s Green, be steady as you go. For Fiddler’s Green is a place I’ve heard tell, though no one really knows, where the fishermen go if they don’t go to hell, and no Arctic wind will blow."
