HFF from Whitby ~ N. Yorkshire.
Some of the 199 steps known as Church Steps in Whitby, leading to the Abbey ruins and St Mary the Virgin church. I added the PiP showing the West Pier, as I cut it off in the main shot.

prachtige opname van whitby rosa--toen ik bij panoramio was had ik vaak contact met ieumand die daar woonde bij zijn oude moeder van 90 plus ,,toen zijn moeder overleed weet ik alleen dat hij naar de philipijnen gegaan was met veel geld wat de moeder hem nagelaten had en de woning(misschien een van deze woningen? ) sinds ik bij ipernity ben heb ik niks meer van hem gehoord...
Mooi Weekend ! Fred! HFF

A pair of fine captures from near the top of these steep steps Rosa. Hope you enjoyed that side of the river as much as we did. (The last time we were here, it was Goth weekend.) Well done.

 Rosalyn Hilborne
Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you Herb. It's a view I have seen many times on Panoramio and Ipernity, and now I have had the opportunity to take the view in myself. It was the only day we had a bit of cloud, but that worked quite well with what is at the top of the steps....photos to follow shortly :-) I am very pleased it wasn't the Goth weekend while we were there.

Take care and have a great weekend. Rosa.

A fine pair of pictures from my favourite town in Yorkshire. You have captured the view from the steps very nicely indeed. I like the warmth of the colours and the slight shadows on the steps, well done Rosa.

HFF and enjoy your weekend

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
Thank you very much Doug. Although I have visited Yorkshire a few times, this was my first visit to the coast and I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the famous sights of Whitby. I actually enjoyed climbing the steps, it was coming back down that was a little difficult I found. Maybe i was that stop at the brewery just past the abbey ;-))

All the best & a good weekend, Rosa.

 Keith Burton
Keith Burton club
Like. you I've seen lots of images on here and on TV from this place, but unlike you, I've never made it there. So I'll have to explore it vicariously through your photos.

I love these two photos.............the view from up there looks fantastic and I'm glad you had decent weather for the photos and the walk up and down the steps (that's impressive on it's own).

A beautiful sky, lovely light and lots of colourful houses..........all beautifully captured. The pier looks amazing. I like the wear in the steps, I wonder how many people have walked up and down them, and what stories they could tell.

I'd have loved to have been there during the Goth weekend........such a great street photography opportunity!

I'm assuming you'll be posting some shots of the Abbey ruins in due course?
19 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
So sorry Keith, I missed your comment yesterday. Yes, it's good to actually see a location that has been on TV and especially on Ipernity many times. I thought I would never get the chance to visit Whitby, being so far away, but I was wrong!!

Thank you very much for your kind comments, which of course, are always appreciated. It would be a huge book if everyone who had trod the steps could tell their stories! Mine would be quite boring....I just enjoyed it :-)

The Goth weekend would have been OK if I had been there for longer, but it was busy on this Sunday, so goodness knows what it would be like then! I have seen pictures and the costumes are amazing and the women look beautiful, if a bit revealing! I love the purples and blacks that they wear.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend Keith.

 José Manuel Polo
José Manuel Polo club
Amplias miradas al paisaje, con buen color. Las pendientes son típicas en muchos puertos, de ahí tanta escalera, en este caso muy amplias y con marcado desgaste en sus peldaños por el uso durante tantos años. En la foto del muelle del Oeste, me gusta como se ven a las personas, de tan lejos. El horizonte marino está nítido y en el cielo las nubes ponen su nota.
HFF, Rosa.
19 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
That was the most steps I have climbed for a while Jose Manuel ;-)) It was worth it though. I have wanted to visit the town and in particular the abbey, for a long time. Thank you for your kind comments. I have a picture of the west and east piers to upload soon.
