No Sage at the Baltic

Danielle was working in Newcastle today, so I traveled up with her and took some photos. I looked at the Sage http://www.thesagegateshead.org/index.aspx and the Baltic modern art gallery http://www.balticmill.com/flash/index.html and saw the Millenium bridge open to let a boat through http://www.gateshead.gov.uk/bridge/bridged.htm.

The art in the Baltic was OK, but I spotted a line of five red buckets that had been positioned against a blank wall in one of the galleries to catch water from the [inevitably] leaking roof of the brand new gallery. They were definitely the best bit of art there. You are not allowed to photograph the artworks [copyright issues] but when I asked if I could photograph the buckets the staff had to make several phone calls, before saying "NO". Pathetic but true.

Much relief that the broadband has returned.
