Whitby Pier, Whitby, North Yorkshire, England
The beacon at the end of Whitby pier just after dawn in late August. Whitby has two piers enclosing the harbour and this is on the West Pier. The original stone lighthouse was built in 1831 and is now midway along the pier on a stone built foundation. The pier was extended further out to sea some time later as a wooden structure and the lighthouse seen here was built in 1914. Both lighthouses still operate when shipping is expected.

Moved to the Isle of Lewis in the The Outer Hebrides off the north-west coast of Scotland in July 2010 with the aim of getting out and about with my camera. Hasn’t quite worked out that way as we’ve spent the past 18 months refurbishing our house but the opportunities will come.
Meanwhile I’ll be going through my collection to pick out some of those that have pleased me over the years.
