This was taken at Robin Hoods Bay sea front. It's a really impressive place but I have never been on a warm sunny day and today was no exception!
There are lots of beautiful old houses and streets leading down to the sea front and this is the sea barrier which I guess is quite spectacular when the waves are pounding against it at full tide.
I think this version works well; the original colour, full frame shot didn't have quite the same impact.

Whitby Rocks
Karen and I visited Whitby today. This was taken just off the sea defense at the mouth of the River Esk south side. It all looks pretty calm, but it was very winding and quite cold too. Bracing!
Brigg Market Place
All very dramatic this one! It would have been better if there had been a few more people kicking around and the car in the distance wasn't in the shot, but oh well. Technically it would have been better shot on my tripod (which I had with me at the time) and a smaller aperture - it's not that sharp by the time you get to the clock. Must learn not to rush as much!
Recycle
Well, I got my camera back! It found it's way to Edinborough Waverley station lost property and they packaged it and sent it back a few days later via Parcelforce - for £25...
Anyway, to celebrate, I thought I'd post up another picture from my Flickr site, but this isn't one from my London trip (they were all pretty rubbish after all that), it's another one I took in Newcastle earlier this year. I converted it to black & white, only leaving the colour in the bins. I quite like this one. I'll post some more up later...

Where's me camera
Well, I haven't had chance to get out with my camera for ages and so a weekend trip to London to watch War Horse was the perfect excuse to, well, get it out - the camera! Anyway, I thought I'd be able to pick out a few half decent pictures, upload them to Flickr and post a couple onto this blog. Here is where it all went a little bit wrong...
Got on the train at Kings Cross station and we're on a table seat. There was little leg room, so I had to shove the camera bag onto the holding shelf above the seat. I normally put it on the floor next to me. I think this is what confused my oh so absent minded brain - I left it there when I got off the train.
The upshot is that my camera is in it's bag with all my photos in the lost property in Edinborough! I will post some pictures up here when I can, first I need to decide how best to retrieve the gear from another country... Maybe have a drive up north this week??
