Over the River Esk

Whitby is blessed with many splendid waterside views. Here we are looking at the east side from the busy road-bridge. The other side of these white houses backs onto perhaps the most popular street in the old town area; Sandgate. Once large cargo ships passed this point to the warehouses some way behind me. Now this side houses a few pleasure craft and the lifeboat station (RNLI –see adjacent photo or PiP).

I've seen so many great Whitby shots both here and especially on Pano over the years that it seems as if I know the place well, but I've never once set foot in North Yorkshire!
Great shot and PiP, Herb!

Herb Riddle replied to Andy Rodker:

Yes, a place photographed many times, especially by my mate Toz (below). Maybe you will get up here some day but time marches on, I know only too well. Gald you liked the PIP photo too.

Keep safe. Herb

Ein schöner Blick auf die ruhige kleine Stadt!
Der Ort ist mir in Verbindung mit James Cook bekannt. Er bereitete dort seine Reisen vor!?

Thanks Rainer. Yes, he is very famous here. There is even a replica now of his ship the Endeavor which you can see again on Friday from me.

Some nice balconies on some of the buildings. I could imagine sitting there, enjoying the sea view! A splendid shot Herb. Have a good day. Rosa.

Herb Riddle replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

Ys sitting on those balconies would be pretty good in the right weather Rosa but looking out of the glass windows almost as good too. Glad you liked this. Herb

It looks very quiet and peaceful there............but I would guess that pre-Covid-19 it would have been a bustling and thriving place. The houses on the waterfront are lovely and have beautiful views. Very well composed and taken Herb.

I like the close up image of the lifeboat in the PiP!
