UK break - Whitby on the North Sea coast

Whitby - September 2009

A short travel photo blog of a trip up the NE side of the UK - Today, we stayed in Whitby

The weather is very different today - the sea is rougher and there's a much more Autumnal feel to the day.

Actually much more what I enjoy :-) Photographically speaking, a bit brighter with broken cloud would be ideal, oh and a more stormy sea...

Not so good for ice cream sales

The sort of beach holiday that appeals to me...

This time the fortune teller was busy...

There's still a huge queue outside the Magpie Cafe...

I've not checked, but these seem different people to yesterday.

The view from the other side of the river from the steps leading up to the Abbey ruins.

A few shots of the Abbey ruins (using 17mm TS-E lens hand held)

The view from the harbour

or, as it really looked

After the walk Karen wanted Ice Cream...

A bit squally still, but a nice day :-)

Whilst walking back I noticed the last remaining (flying) Vulcan bomber flying by out to sea. It's based not far from where I live in Leicester.

Not much detail in this (small) crop from a 200mm shot...

Heading further north tomorrow
