Whitby and its piers


Lots of fences here to satisfy the most ardent Happy Fence Friday fan :)
Whitby harbour is protected by a pair of piers set in a claw-like shape by which the River Esk escapes into the North Sea.
The two piers in Whitby have been in existence since before the 1500's. By 1540, the two oak piers (east and west) were replaced partially, with stonework (in the reign of King Charles 1), with further work around the 1600’s. Both piers were rebuilt in 1735, each measuring approximately 183m, but by 1814 the west pier was further extended to reach a length of 309m. In 1905, both the piers had new pier ends built on, each of a length of 152m. In Feb 2020 a new footbridge was constructed on the east pier to link the main pier to its the wooden extension. (Seen on here in white.)
Full screen essential.

A very nice picture, of a scene I know well.
Wonderful composition to divide it into three bands along the rule of thirds. It works well
Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
