Looking towards Runswik Bay .The sea was very calm last evening with a sea mist on the horizon.Also the sky has some reflections on the sea.
Having to pick my times to upload due to poor internet connections.
Port Mulgrave is a derelict former ironstone exporting port on the North Yorkshire coast midway between Staithes and Runswick Bay in the civil parish of Hinderwell. Rows of domestic properties and individual houses exist on the top of the cliff
I look upon my subject with the Nature lover’s eye as much as I could command.
And I have captured that remarkable one in Mulgrave Wetlands; it was staring at me with curiosity for five minutes or so. That encounter made me feel happy 😊
The horse chestnut trees in Mulgrave woods have now started shedding their fruits. Clusters lay everywhere. A schoolboys delight. Conker season is here!
Not a place known by many, yet it used to be a popular Victorian hotspot as people wandered along Wizards Glen to try and see the evil fairy, Jeanie o' Biggersdale.... I guess the fairy must have left because now the path down Wizards Glen has gone, it's now just a muddy trudge.

Autumns arrived in Mulgrave Woods, Sandsend, North Yorkshire.
As a kid I would love playing in woods like this and dream of building tree houses in trees just like this one. Nowadays I appreciate the woods for the life it holds, all the nature and the pleasure of walks in the wilderness.
A beautiful breezy morning on the North Yorkshire coast.

This field runs downhill to the cliffs above Port Mulgrave, Yorkshire. I noticed the haybales in it when I was down at the old, derelict harbour and disused ironstone mine two nights ago. After trying out several compositions the sky finally got dark enough and I finally moved high enough up the field to capture a shot I was pleased with. The remaining wheat stubble rattled against my boots as I moved about and sounded musical like a giant comb having a stick run along its teeth. The lights of ships out in the North Sea went about their business and the sound of the waves down at the cliff foot reached me where I stood. I disturbed several pheasants that were resting on the ground and they flew off hurriedly with a dry staccato crack of wingbeats- I don't know who frightened who the most! At just gone midnight I reluctantly packed up my gear and headed back to the car negotiating the clifftop path with the restless sea crashing on the rocks below.
A surprising little farm in the Laurentians. The log cabin and third barn are both very old for the area.

A question..
Has anyone any idea why my last two photos of Mulgrave Castle got thousands of views in a few hours... I don't understand...
Wet and windy on the North Yorkshire coast above Port Mulgrave.

Abstract, Port Mulgrave, North Yorkshire.
To frame or not to frame? Well it's a question that I consider- usually with abstract work like this. I think it adds to the 'squareness' (if that's a word) and enhances the presentation but I'd be interested in your feedback.
The former Lady of Light Catholic Church (1896-2012) and Cemetery in Mulgrave-et-Derry Township (Buckingham), Quebec, Canada.
By 2012, it ceased to be an active church and became the Our Lady of Light Cultural Centre / Centre culturel after being renovated.
Besides its cemetery, there are also concrete statues of Mary, Children and a lamb donated by Mr. and Mrs. George Gagne.

Coastal abstract, Port Mulgrave, North Yorkshire.
Broadly similar in theme to an image I took at Saltburn a few years ago and called 'r w b'...
I popped over to Port Mulgrave tonight once the little ones were down. I went to check the place out and take a look at the abandoned firestone mine that is there. The crumbling, abandoned harbour is accessed down a steep path from the top of the 300' cliff. A landslip in 2016 destroyed part of the path and signs warn that the route is closed but enterprising people have installed wooden ladders in one section and also added fixed ropes. The old harbour is crumbling badly and the pier is now gone. After a couple of hours in the old mines I paused at the harbour to try some lightpainting. My several sets of fairylights were all on the blink for one reason or another so I improvised by securing a small red LED torch to some string. I'm quite pleased with the effect. At one point a big ship rounded the northern headland and I did worry if they would spot and puzzle over my display- hence the title! (False Lights is the term given to the practice of luring ships onto the shore at night -in order to plunder their cargo- by lighting false beacons to confuse them). PS photo -pretty much as it came out the camera= one single 30s exposure
Mulgrave Castle near Sandsend, North Yorkshire. Replacing an earlier motte-and-bailey fortification, Mulgrave Castle acted as an administrative centre for the vast Yorkshire estates of its owners and in the seventeenth century found a new role as a hunting lodge. It was re-fortified during the Civil War and then slighted on the orders of Parliament in 1647.
Another one of my evening forays during our recent family holiday to Whitby. I'd read about this place before we'd gone on holiday and it was only a 10minute drive from where we were staying. It sits at the base of a 300' cliff on a lonely strip of shore beneath a clutch of houses.
Port Mulgrave ironstone mine was opened by Sir Charles Palmer in the 1850s to provide for his & his brother's blast furnaces & ironworks in Jarrow 30 miles to the north near Newcastle. The ironstone was extracted directly from the cliffs and loaded at the port via wooden jetties onto ships.
(see inlanding.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/maurice-grayson-hin...)
By the 1870s the ironstone was depleted and another seam at Grinkle Park 3miles away was linked by a railway to the sea at Port Mulgrave via this 1mile tunnel, a series of 3 wooden viaducts and a further tunnel.
The system was still used until 1917 when the Whitby-Loftus Railway was built and that was used to transport the ironstone. A fire damaged the wooden jetties and in WW2 the Royal Engineers blew up the stone harbour to stop the Germans using it.
This photo is taken in the 1st brick-lined section of the tramway tunnel standing on one of the submerged rails. Simple light-painting. The outflow adit where the water raced away into darkness can be seen on the right(I tucked a red torch up it for lighting effect).
Several websites warn of the "DEADLY(sic) nature" of this mine featuring as it does multiple roof collapses along the way & deteriorating air quality the further in you get... I didn't feel it was that unpleasant!
The title is an acknowledgement that these aren't the most sensible places to hang out in. I've already used the title 'Fools Rush In':
