As I said yesterday during the final part of my visit to Whitby I took a short trip on Whitby's old lifeboat.
We went out to the marker buoy and then back. Even though it wasn't all that far it was a lot further than the other pleasure trips which seemed to hug the shoreline and I could see the importance of the buoy and the lighthouse to mark the safe channel back to port.
Yesterday's picture of the harbour at Whitby was taken on the way up to visit the Abbey. Of course at that time of day the abbey was closed to visitors so these pictures were taken from just outside the walls.
It was a beautiful evening and I was really glad to be there. As the sun set the sky had a beautiful and warm orange glow which was in contrast to the cold stone of the abbey walls.
I was lucky enough to be able to capture the sunburst through one of the arches, it was only a fleeting moment so I was pleased to be able to get this shot.
