Go West from duncmc via flickr.

First time out with the camera for quite some time. Having popped over to Goole this morning to chat about a website I took a detour down the Hook road to check out the view of the M62 / Ouse bridge.

Beyond Dark Castle from duncmc via flickr.

Tattershall Castle in Lincolnshire, or at least what’s left of it – the keep and the moat basically. A bit of an experiment – I generally avoid shooting into the sun. Blown highlights are a pet peeve but I can just about live with it on this occasion.

Life Support System from duncmc via flickr.

Lifebelt amongst the dunes at the beach near Dunstanburgh. The sun was setting which gave the clouds a nice warm pink colour against the blue sky. After much deliberation I posted the black and wite version rather than the colour – it just had that indefinable something extra.

As Far As The Eye Can Sea from duncmc via flickr.

The view across Whitby harbour from the from the top of East Cliff.

Derelict sheds on “Dead Bod* Jetty” off the former quayside of Vitcoria Dock in Hull, East Yorkshire.

* Bod = bird (Hull dialect)

The view was irresistable with camera in hand.

Ringside Seat from duncmc via flickr.

Shot from St Andrew’s Dockside looking across the old dock basin towards the derelict Lord Line building. The dock was closed in the mid 1970s, about ten years after this picture was taken.

Out With The Old, In With The New from duncmc via flickr.

We drove out to the coast yesterday. It was nice and bleak, just the thing to blow away a few Christmas cobwebs. This was taken on the beach at Withernsea, deserted but for a few fishermen and a pair of photographers.

Outside Again from duncmc via flickr.

Thornton Abbey Gatehouse viewed from the outside as we were leaving. I really liked the place, it’s quite a gem and only seven miles from the Humber Bridge. Despite its being almost my doorstep I only discovered it while browsing images on Flickr.

Through The Arched Window from duncmc via flickr.

Eight hundred year old remains of the octagonal chapterhouse at Thornton Abbey in Lincolnshire. Very similar to this shot – I can’t really choose between them.
