A spectacular sunrise lit up the skies over Newcastle Great Park on 26 October 2026. See the stunning photograph shared by local resident Derek Reid
Residents of Newcastle Great Park were treated to a breathtaking start to the week on Monday 26 October 2026, as the morning sky came alive with spectacular shades of orange, red and pink.
A stunning photograph shared in the Great Park Residents Group on Facebook captured the dramatic sunrise, with vibrant colours stretching across the clouds and silhouetted trees creating a striking foreground.
The image was shared by local resident Derek Reid, who simply described the scene as a "Fantastic sunrise this morning".
And it's easy to see why!
A beautiful start to the week
Following a weekend dominated by Storm Boelo and its powerful winds across the North East, Monday morning brought a rather different sight for residents looking towards the horizon.
The photograph shows an extraordinary display of fiery orange and pink clouds against the early morning sky, creating an almost painted appearance above the landscape.
The dark silhouettes of trees beneath the colourful clouds add to the dramatic scene, making for a particularly memorable autumn sunrise.
The photograph also caught the attention of fellow members of the Great Park Residents Group, with one commenting: "Stunning".
