Newcastle Triptych

This is the view from the fourth floor of the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. As part of the regeneration of this area this former flour mill was turned into a museum and this magnificent viewpoint was created. Three major visitor attraction are visible in the three separate window frames: on the left The Sage, a £70 million centre for live music designed by Norman Foster; in the middle the steel arch of the Tyne Bridge, which was opened in 1928 by King George V and Queen Mary; and on the right the white arch of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, otherwise known as the Blinking Eye (it tilts when it opens, resembling a slow motion wink.)
