Whitby West pier explored.

Whitby West pier explored.
When one walks to the end of this oak pier, we find there is a ladder going underneath to an almost secret walkway, a spot inhabited by fishermen in bad weather. Here we see a view from there in monochrome, befitting this historic town. The tower seen here is the West Pier lighthouse, built in 1831 and occasionally opened to the public.
Two Pips of alternate views included.

Full screen essential.

The strong lines and the shadowplay are fabulous on mono! You have framed the lighthouse perfectly.
I have walked on the upper level but never realized that you can go down,,,

Nice to see you here again. Yes, the ladder down is not very obvious. I tried a lot of angles to get that lighthouse in the right position. Glad you approved.

Keep safe. Herb

Very well shown and captured

Good that you enjoyed these views my friend. Believe me, there is quite a different feel to things in here and above in the middle of a storm.

When I think that the sea is 250 km far from here...

Herb Riddle club has replied to Daniela Brocca club
Ah but you have high mountains nearby and in any case I think that most of your population live much closer to the sea than I do here.

What a great discovery!

Your composition is spot on Herb.............I love the curve of the pier and the long shadows from the uprights. The light is lovely and you've captured the textures and detail beautifully. I love the way you've framed the lighthouse too. Mono was definitely the way to go.

Two super PiPs as well............the first is my favourite of the two - with fantastic light, details and shadows.

Nice work my friend.

Always nice to show a view or place that people don't normally see Keith. After finding this place it was just a small matter of portraying it in the best way, Glad you approved.

There are as many photo opportunities underneath the pier as on top Herb. A lovely set of pictures. I particularly like the first PiP. Cheers, Rosa.
