Whitby Abbey
High on a cliff above the Yorkshire seaside town of Whitby are the gaunt, imposing remains of Whitby Abbey. Founded in 657 by St Hilda, Whitby Abbey has over the years been a bustling settlement, a kings’ burial place, the setting for a historic meeting between Celtic and Roman clerics, the home of saints including the poet Caedmon, and inspiration for Bram Stoker, author of Dracula.

Re: Whitby Abbey
John, Great shot, love the sky.
Hope the shots of "The Queen" are as good. Send her my best and maybe one day I will see her in Dubai.

Re: Whitby Abbey
This is a beauty John, really well done. The colours capture your attention and the silhouette of the Abbey give real interest to the shot.

Excellent work.
Cheers,
Rob

Re: Whitby Abbey
Thanks for all the great comments.
I was a bit unsure about the angle myself, and think I ought to have gone another couple of hundred yards down the road (to the right).
