Stathes in its glory
A walk over the wet sand gives me a view of the bottom village with a bit of sun. The first people are getting a seat at the pub and are probably watching to see what I am doing here. This scene must be a world away from the same place a couple of centuries , with its many ships of sail here and multiple fishing boats too. The place would have been heaving with working families making a living from the sea.
The name Staithes means 'landing place' in Old English, and the village once boasted one of the largest fishing ports in the area with around 80 boats coming in and out of the harbour on a daily basis. The fishermen traditionally used a coble which is a type of open fishing boat, developed on the North East Coast.

No wonder Staithes attracts so many artists with their paintbrushes (and now cameras).

I like reflected light on the wet sand and mud, and the use of the mooring lines to lead us into the scene. The grounded boats make great foreground interest.
I like the way the houses look in the sunshine................you could almost imagine this was taken in the Mediterranean somewhere. Very nice indeed Herb.
Thanks for sharing the link..............the old photos are very interesting.
