It’s that time of year when atmospheric scenes of fog await us - especially as the sun rises.
Dawn mists can be stunning, but let’s face it, Wearside is often striking at any time of day.
Here are nine Echo archive photos showing the mist, fog and sand storms at Seaburn, on the Wear, and in Durham.
It’s a 40-year gallery of great scenes from 1975 onwards. Enjoy.
