Whitby, East Pier Lighthouse (HFF everyone)

Whitby East Pier Light (or Whitby East Breakwater Light), was built in 1854. The stone built lighthouse stands 55 foot high ( approx 16 mtrs) and had a light visible from 8 miles (approx 13 km).

This was replaced in 1914, by the new Whitby east pier light. The new light was built as a wooden framework tower on 'legs', at the seaward end of the new pier extension. Currently operational, it displays an automated fixed red light (red for port).

The view is to the east and Saltwick Nab promontory (see below)

The main image is wonderfully atmospheric, almost ghostly Doug. The lone figure and the monochrome add to the mood. I love it.

The second image is beautiful. I love the colours. Both are equally good I do have just a sneaky preference for the first - wrong place I know but it very 'French Lieutenant's Woman'

HFF and have a good weekend

How beautiful your main shot looks Doug. Probably a good candidate for monochrome with what looks like a misty day. The rocky coastline in your PiP looks lovely too, and thanks as always for the information. HFF.

Best wishes & good weekend,
Rosa.
