Whitby
Whitby is dominated by the cliff-top ruins of a beautiful 13th century Abbey. This quaint maritime town, with its old cobbled streets, picturesque houses and sandy blue flag beach, is set among fine stretches of coast with spectacular cliffs and bays

199 steps lead down from the Abbey to the old town where you find yourself in a shoppers’ paradise. With an array of unique shops offering local crafts, famous Whitby Jet jewellery, maritime memorabilia and antiques, you are sure to find that holiday treasure.

A selection of diverse attractions includes the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, Victorian Jet Works, the Dracula Experience and Whitby Museum, which offers a cabinet of curiosities from geology to jet carving, birdlife to bygones and costumes to clocks.

For food connoisseurs, Whitby has it all. Award winning seafood restaurants, continental delights, traditional sea-shanty inns preparing locally cooked produce and olde worlde English tea rooms serving freshly baked pastries and Yorkshire teas.

wow... amazing.. great colours ... great POV... I really like the colouristic effect You've received...

Hi Mark
Lovely atmosphere. have you used a texture filter in the foreground? I think you have done quite a lot of work on this one and it has paid off. I shall be spending a week up that way in June and hope I can come away with some shots as good as this

Hello Mark,
looking fantastically, very dramatical scene. Great colours.
Regards, Elena

Spent many a happy holiday in Whitby. This is a great shot of a very picturesque area.

Hi Mark,
Great shot of Whitby. I love the way you have composed this shot. The light and colours are superb and all add to make a really atmospheric shot. This really conjers up thoughts of Bram Stoker and Dracula!! (does to me anyway!) Well done and TFS.

Excellent mood and light capture. A very spooky photo indeed. I love the motion in the photo. Bravo!

You got a style, Mark! Excellent, just like the others! Very dramatic and yet warm! TfS
cheers

So Mark...Whitby has it all, and yet...you've gifted us with a cemetery up high on the hill.
And thanks God for this - for I've seen many picturesque cities and towns, but such a beautiful yet gloomy vision of cemetery - never.
This is absolute killer...oops(!?)
Splendid, if yet a little weird work.

George

Wow I really like this shot, dramatic sky and I love the whole composition and colouring.
