High Force - River Tees, County Durham

The Story in Your Eyes - The Moody Blues

I've been thinking about our fortune
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep inside us now
Is still the same

And the sounds we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon me now
I realize

Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day

But I'm frightened for your children
That the live that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain

Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day

But I'm frightened for the children
That the live that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain

When the final line is over
It's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love
For ever more

Another song from the soundtrack of my life - this song inspired me to purchase my first album as a 15 year old - Every Good Boy Deserves A Favour (1971). A great song from a great band.

The waterfall is one of County Durham's wonders - this is one of many shots I took at High Force as part of my journey down the River Tees - the river starts as a trickle high up in the Pennines and flows from West to East to enter the North Sea just beyond Middlesbrough.

Standing facing the waterfall is a humbling experience. The roar is huge as the water cascades over the 21 metre high falls.

From here the river travels on towards Barnard Castle and the shots loaded over the past couple of days

It was an amazing day and an amazing journey
