photographer Joe Cornish has realised a personal dream with the launch of a gallery dedicated to his landscape work.

To mark the opening, he unveiled the second in a series of limited editions, a dramatic picture of the Millennium Bridge over the Tyne at sunset.

It complements a picture of the replica Endeavour leaving Whitby harbour which sold out when it was released last year.

More than 200 guests gathered for the unveiling at the gallery in Zetland Street, Northallerton.

"Although my main passion is the natural landscape, I have always been interested in architecture and, like many, was inspired by the new bridge as soon as it was installed," he said.

Joe is widely regarded as one of the country's leading landscape photographers. He was born in Exeter in 1958 and after studying art became a photographer's assistant before going on his own as a photographer in 1985.

He worked as a travel photographer for ten years, but since moving to North Yorkshire in 1993, he has devoted himself to landscape.

He is now the first-choice landscape photographer for the National Trust.
