Whitby harbour scene from the West Pier

And finally we have here a view from the pier walkway itself, looking back into the old town of Whitby. The main part here on the right is actually known as the new town. It used to be that the harbour quay was lined up with fishing boats waiting to unload their catch but today, almost empty. Even the visitors have almost disappeared in these days of Covid, little were we to know that things would get worse not better. Ah well, rest awhile and enjoy this view with me in safety.
The Pip shows the view in the opposite direction. See adjacent photo for description.

Best large.

I don't think this view of the town is as popular as the more iconic ones but it's superb in your hands, Herb!

I remember this view from our visit several years ago. Certainly no thoughts of a Pandemic then.

You probably wouldn't have got this shot before the pandemic Herb...........it would have been packed with people. It's a nice looking place to be sure, especially the architecture. Very well composed and taken.

Two more super images in the PiPs as well............I especially like the 2nd PiP - the wave action is lovely.
