Rust in peace (pieces). by TallGuy

As Rob and I walked along the rocky beach to the wreck of the Sarb-J, we kept coming across bits of other shipwrecks, this looked like part of a keel. Ihave been informed that there is a German U-boat crankshaft near by on the rocks with some old air tanks.. we didn’t spot them. / I didn’t post it earlier, as it is very similar to Rob’s photo, and as I commented on his photo, I’m unsure about it. I do like the way the wreck seems to frame the buildings of Robin Hoods Bay, especially as the light at the time was lighting the buildings up. I decided against hdr, I thought the original photo handles the light better.
Give me a sign. by TallGuy

Carlton Moor and Field of Gold by Robert Hardy

“It’s been a long cold lonely winter” sang George Harrison and it was! Happy days are ahead as the countryside is waking up and the days are getting longer and warmer. I took this after tea tonight. The yellow crop field is Rape Seed, used to produce oil. The moor behind is Carlton Bank once the site of an enormous Alum mine.

Looking up at the South side of York Minster from the end of Stonegate. The round window is the famous Rose Window.
The light side. by TallGuy

It would have been nice to have the two rock fingers of the Wainstones catching the light from the setting sun, it must be a morning shot…. I still like the colours and the contrast between the light and dark side.
Yellow to Gold. by TallGuy

A quick pop outside this evening to see if I could get any sort of sunset shot at the end of this hot hazy day. Pleased, even if I was hoping for bluebells.

Roseberry Topping. by TallGuy

I decided tonight might be a good night for a sunset on the Topping, after an hours drive I arrived near the base about 8 o-clock. I was unsure where the best spot to be was, having never recced it before… By this time the sun was setting, and any clouds I had hoped for, dispersed. I never really saw a good angle, not enough time, this one caught my eye. Using my Sigma 70 – 300 lens, I managed to foreshorten the foreground, squeezing in the bluebells, fields and the yellow of the gorse in flower. I need to try again soon, the bracken was beginning to show and the bluebells won’t be there for much longer. Roseberry Topping on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. / / For a change Rob wasn’t there. I’ll also add a note, letting his contacts know he’s off line at the moment, modem problems.

Blue Harbour by Damien Taylor

Whitby by night. Whitby is a popular seaside town in North Yorkshire, England. This photograph was taken late on 18.05.08 when most of the tourists had left leaving me shivering on the east pier whilst taking advantage of the quiet Sunday evening. Hope you like it Damien.
