Back to last year’s trip to the Yorkshire coast and we see here a view looking up this small tidal part of the river. In past years this section would have been teeming with fishing boats sheltering from the rough seas just a couple of hundred meters below us. Now just one or two die-hard crafts still moor here; so is the scene in all our old fishing villages. It’s early and so I precede the hordes of tourist who now flock to this historical quant place and for once, the weather is kind. Follow PiP for opposite side view in full screen. (page before this one.) Enjoy full screen and have a good week

A view of Staithes Beck at low tide as it runs into the harbour and sea here. The mono look is an attempt of showing how this relatively untouched old fishing village may have looked in the last century – only the cars, satellite dish and modern outfits give the game away :) See PiP for the opposite side view.
