WOW!
I must visit here one day just to see for myself and believe that a town could be like that! It looks like it hasn’t changed much at all since Cook was a lad! We have nothing like that here!
And yes I see the rainbow !! :O)
Chookas! X♥X

This view is almost identical to a view of Whitby. The winding river to the sea, and he cliffs are very reminiscent.
Stunning HDR image. Well done.
Robert Hardy replied
Thanks Lensman, yes it’s on a similar vein to Whitby which is just a short hop up the coast.
PS
No HDR on this one.
