A photo taken in morning light, looking seaward from the fort walls https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/775216 I don't doubt that it was the roof of Image that caught my eye and prompted this shot. My camera was a boxy Kodak Instamatic. I was in Berwick a few days before the Apollo 11 moon-landing. A recent view Image suggests that not a lot has changed in half a century, though there are now more cars (and perhaps fewer trees). Image scanned from a print. I've attempted to correct a reddish bias that's crept in over the years, but haven't altogether succeeded.
