I'm from Hartlepool (a Monkey Hanger apparently is what people often call me on my travels). I'm proud of the place I live and I happen to think there are some great places for landscape photography in Hartlepool if you seek them out!
After waking one cold January morning there was a lot of snow on the ground, but bright blue skies - so I thought I would zip around town and take some photos of some of my favourite spots in a different light!
 |
| Hartlepool historic quay on the marina with a snow covered car park. A popular local tourist attraction! |
 |
| The headland in Hartlepool: A row of old houses behind the Headland Town Wall, with the Docks in the distance. I love the old world charm of Hartlepool Headland. |
 |
| The Sebastopol Cannon - Hartlepool Headland. This cannon was captured from the Russian Army at the battle of Sebastopol during the Crimean War (1854-56). In October 1857, the then Secretary of State, Lord Panmure, offered the cannon to Hartlepool Borough Council who gratefully accepted it. |

| Elwick church in the pristine snow |
 |
| Elwick church again! |
 |
| Elwick Village, on the outskirts of Hartlepool, with a snow covered village green. One of my favourite villages in the area. |
 |
| Hartlepool Headland war memorial - some of my favourite houses in Hartlepool here. |
 |
| St Hildas Church on the Headland |
