Whitby Abbey, the picture was turned to a negative to give it a more gothic look, which was befitting of the goth weekend....
Two different views of Whitby, both taken from the opposite side of the harbour, outside lifeboat station. I couldn't decide which picture I preferred, so I've posted both.
The Port of Whitby is an ancient and historic seaport on the North Yorkshire coast of England. The port lies at the mouth of the River Esk, where it enters into the North Sea. A port has been in existence at Whitby since at least the 7th century, when it was used to bring in supplies for Whitby Abbey. The port is famous for being the port of origin for the sailings of Captain Cook, and some of the ships that he sailed on were also built in the harbour.
Commercial cargo ceased in the late 20th century, however, the port is still an important location for the landing of fish.

A shot taken this week of Whitby Abbey lit at night. This ticks of another box on the many tests of my Leica X - a night shoot.. in fairness it was a challenge, but it can still do the job. And it was fun doing it - if not freezing stood in a field full of photographers doing the same.
Whitby Abbey was a Benedictine monastery that was destroyed by Henry VIII in 1540 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It features in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel 'Dracula' - the eponymous character leaps ashore from the grounded ship Demeter in the form of a large dog and climbs the 199 steps to the ruined Abbey.
Whitby is a seaside town, port in North Yorkshire, England. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk,
Whitby has a maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. The fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets and was where Captain Cook learned seamanship
This a late evening view of Whitby and the River Esk. The Esk supports a wild variety of wildlife including sea trout and freshwater pearl mussels, and is the only major river in Yorkshire that flows directly into the North Sea. The swing bridge originally carried the A171 but now serves local traffic and pedestrians. It is opened at either side of high tide to allow the passage of river traffic.
Whitby is a seaside town in Yorkshire, northern England, split by the River Esk. On the East Cliff, overlooking the North Sea, the ruined Gothic Whitby Abbey was Bram Stoker's inspiration for Dracula. Nearby is the Church of St. Mary, reached by 199 steps. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum, in the house where Cook once lived, displays paintings and maps. West of town is West Cliff Beach, lined with beach huts.
The harbour you see today is the result of many centuries of man-made improvements to the original natural harbour formed by the estuary of the River Esk. Contrary to most people's instincts, the piers lie to the East and West of the harbour mouth, which actually faces due North. Whitby is one of the few places in the UK where you can watch the sun rise and set over the sea in summer.
