A lucky photo of the lighthouse at Scarborough. I’d had my back to the lighthouse for some time watching the light falling over the south beach when I turned round to see a huge black cloud behind the lighthouse and this beautiful rainbow. I only had about a minute to get the photo I wanted before the rainbow faded and the heavens opened soaking me to the skin!

Situated at the edge of a cliff along the North Yorkshire coast, a naturally defended area and a perfect look out spot, Scarborough Castle still dominates the town and harbour some 300ft (91m) below. The roughly triangular piece of ground forming the headland of Castle Hill has been occupied for over 2500 years, but the first stone fortress on the site wasn’t built until the early 12th century by William le Gros. Remains of his early building include a chapel, much altered in the 14th century, and the curtain walls which were strengthened by Henry II in the second half of the 12th century. Henry II was also responsible for destroying the original gate tower and erecting a more elaborate, three-storey square Keep, typical of that period, protected further by a traditional forebuilding. Although the top of the keep has disappeared, some remaining walls provide a good indication of how splendid this structure was. Fireplaces at the first and second levels can still be seen in the walls. Nothing exists of the once mighty forebuilding except the foundations, which show clearly its size and estimated height of some 40ft (12m). From this date, Scaborough Castle became practically impregnable, although the outer defences were continually improved and reinforced over the years. Scarborough Castle was the strategically important Northern base of Kings and Queens for almost five centuries, and with each new reign came further additions and improvements to the original building.

The castle … you can’t have a series of pics about Scarborough without the castle … it dominates the skyline
During the summer high season, steam trains run from York to Scarborough. I took this shot a couple of years ago, once again with a compact camera which I tend to carry with me most of the time. I think the setting is right for this shot, the old steam train passing rows of old terraced houses. MY STEAM AND RAIL SET

This is the view overlooking this amazing glassed space at Scarborough Spa backwards the remains of Scarborough Castle, over looking it’s harbour. There is evidence that people have lived on the hill that looked out over Doggerland since prehistory. Shot in the South Bay of Scarborough in North Yorkshire Featured on Redbubble Feature page

Here’s one of the competitors from Scarborough Yacht Club ‘racing into the sun’ in South Bay, Scarborough, North Yorkshire and for those who know the town, Oliver’s Mount is clearly visible in the background.
Taken on Scarborough’s Marine Drive. Spring high tide made the usual stairway to the beach impassable due to the high seas. I Used the 9-stop ND filter with a 34 sec shutter to blur out the wave action, resulting in this ethereal mist. / Canon 400D 18-55mm lens. / Aperture f/19 / Shutter 34sec / ISO – 100 / Filter – ND 9-stop. I had a bit of a dillema as to which shot of 2 to publish. The second shot is a bit wider. Would love opinions ;) Featured in:- Canon DSLR

I found this bit of news about the pub online. The fearsome landlady: Kath Duffy runs The Newcastle Packet ‘The first pub round here closed two to three years ago, when the landlady went bankrupt. That was just the beginning. I’ve been in my pub for 26 years and being on the seafront, there were the fishermen. But now – well, I look out of the window and I can only see a couple of little boats. Why are pubs closing down? Because of the supermarkets: as a tenant, I have to buy my beer from the brewery but in the supermarket it’s nearly three times cheaper. You can get two cases for £16 while I’m paying around £40. It’s not easy for us; all we’re doing now is living. The smoking ban was another nail in the coffin. I think we will lose the traditional pub. Instead it’ll all be wine bars and “superpubs” with massive screens selling cheap beer because they’re not tied to a brewery. They can afford to sell at £1.50 a pint – how can you compete with that? On top of that, where people used to come out at eight o’clock at night, they now come at 10pm as everything is open so late. We have a licence until 1am – but there’s a big bar in town open until 3am and a casino with a bar open until 6am. We do what we can, though. We have live music, a piano for a proper sing-song. I don’t stand for any trouble in the pub either. We had a problem with gangs going to the joke shop round the corner, buying stinkbombs, and throwing them in the pub. We lost trade immediately. So I went around to the joke shop, bought some stinkbombs and stamped on them right there. “You stole my trade,” I said, “now I’m going to steal yours.” Things are already hard, but when you get a good day and something like that happens, it’s ruined.’ The Newcastle Packet, Sandside, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, tel: 01723 373 080 / - News Link Below. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/the-lastchance-saloon-can-anyone-save-the-great-british-boozer-854974.html
