An eerie but beautiful image of High Spen in the snow has been selected as part of a prestigious collection of landscape photography.
Mark Bradshaw, from Rowlands Gill, will see his picture inside the Landscape Photographer of the Year book, for the eighth time in 12 years.
The image, as shown above, is of a row of terraced houses in High Spen, Gateshead, on a snowy morning taken from the golf course opposite. "With this particular photograph, it would have only worked on that morning as the blank sky perfectly mirrored the white snow on the ground," Mark said when asked about the award winning shot.
