Whitby, Day 2

Another fabulous day of weather with cloudless skies all day but the biting wind and low temperatures meant a cold day.  When we looked out first thing the eastern horizon was tinged with vivid orange.  Tea in bed and then down for a relaxed 8.00 am breakfast and off to Sandsend.  There was just enough beach for a beachcombing mooch and some photography.   The groynes here always make for interesting subjects. The next port of call was the Danby Moors centre where there was an excellent exhibition. Lunch was a picnic high above the Esk Valley with wonderful views.  One of my favourite places.  Another mooch on the beach and then it was back to Whitby and shopping for some and photography for others.  Peter and I were after some golden hour shots of the old town and then some twilight images from the steps.  We were a tad early for twilight so to avoid frostbite we retreated to the Board Inn for something brown and frothy.  On our way back up the steps the light was perfect.  Shortly we shall be heading for The Marine on the harbour side to sample their pre Christmas menu.  Another good day.
