This shot’s a bit special to me, it was taken with a digital compact camera. It was a last minute decision to go and watch HM Bark Endeavour leave Whitby, I wasn’t expecting much. / The night was special, hundreds of people lined the harbour, Endeavour give a salute with it’s canons as the crowds cheered. The sun was sinking, but put a warm glow over the whole affair. I took some photos as she sailed out and then dashed to the end of the harbour. There was too many people, so I climbed on to a rubbish bin to get a last few shots, the people framed it beautifully…. At the time I hadn’t realised that this may be Endeavour’s last visit.. will it return home… HM Bark Endeavour Set

Whitby Quay …

I decided to go down to the lower level of the pier, where for hundreds of years it has been a popular place for tourist and locals alike to fish. Not long back they had to stop the age old practice because the railings were becoming to dangerous. I managed to catch the magical glow of the sun rising on the wood and stone of this old pier. You can just make out the lighthouse on the other pier. HP PhotoSmart C945 bridge camera / f/5.6 / 1/60 / ISO 100 / Orton Effect applied in Photoshop CS 2

I took the long walk back underneath the West Pier, Whitby, North Yorkshire, and when I looked back, I saw this wonderful structure of lines and patterns, with the shadows from the posts that hold up top walk. There is something I really love about this shot. I can imagine so many people standing along the railing with fishing poles cast out from the pier.

St Hildas Abbey in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England.

Whitby Abbey is a ruined Benedictine abbey sited on Whitby’s East Cliff in North Yorkshire on the north-east coast of England. / It was founded in 657 AD by the Anglo-Saxon King of Northumbria, Oswy (Oswiu) as Streoneshalh (the historical name of the town Whitby where the abbey is located). He appointed Lady Hilda, abbess of Hartlepool Abbey and niece of Edwin the first Christian king of Northumbria, as founding Abbess. The name Streoneshalh is thought to signify Fort Bay or Tower Bay in reference to a supposed Roman settlement that previously existed on the site. This contention has never been proven though and alternate theories have been proposed, such as the name meaning Streona’s settlement; a reference to Eadric Streona. This is highly unlikely though due to chronological considerations: Streona died in 1017 so the naming of Streoneshalh would have preceded his birth by several hundred years. The double monastery of Benedictine monks and nuns was also home to the great Saxon poet Caedmon. In 664, the abbey was the site of the Synod of Whitby, at which King Oswiu ruled that the Northumbrian Church would adopt the Roman calculation of Easter and monastic tonsure. / In 867, the abbey fell to Viking attack, and was abandoned. / William de Percy ordered that the abbey be refounded (1078) by Regenfrith (Reinferd) a soldier monk, dedicating it to St. Peter and St. Hilda. Later it became Presteby (meaning the habitation of Priests in Old Norse) then Hwytby; next Whiteby, (meaning the “white settlement” in Old Norse, probably from the colour of the houses) and finally Whitby. / The second monastery lasted until it was destroyed by Henry VIII in 1540 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The abbey buildings fell into ruins, and were mined for stone, but remained a prominent landmark for sailors and helped inspire Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The ruins are now owned and maintained by English Heritage. / From Wikipedia.
