Tate Hill Beach from Whitby West Pier

The same lamp-post as yesterday rescued from its not very splendid isolation. The masts of the Grand Turk are clearly visible in the inner harbour. Follow the link for more on this replica ship.

Not the fog on the Tyne

I try to post only my own pictures, but this one was sent by a friend, John Shooter, who runs a small computer business in the town. I could be mistaken - perhaps it was Martin!

The title, for those who don't know the group Lindisfarne, is a reference to their Fog on the Tyne.

The Grand Turk is more clearly visible that in the earlier inner harbour photograph. This is a very atmospheric shot, thanks to the fog and the broken reflections.

Thanks John - or Martin!

The inner harbour

This one is taken from the swing bridge, which separates the outer from the inner harbour. Further upstream, but out of sight here, is the marina.

The tall mast belongs to the Grand Turk, a replica of an 18th century man o' war. She has featured in several films and is open for visits daily.

You might have noticed that the harbour is not fenced at this point, but accidents are thankfully rare, even after closing time.
