Greatly appreciated.
A shot taken in Whitby Harbour earlier this year. It was a very pleasant early morning walk, and I caught this gem. It has been processed in Aurora HD.

Llandudno Pier is a Grade II* listed pier in the seaside resort of Llandudno, North Wales. At 2,295 feet (700 m), the pier is the longest in Wales and the fifth longest in England and Wales. In 2005 and 2025, it was voted "Pier of the Year" by the members of the National Piers Society.
At the end of the pier is a deep-water landing stage, completely rebuilt for the third time in 1969, which is used by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for occasional excursions to Douglas, Isle of Man, and for an annual visit of the PS Waverley or the MV Balmoral preserved steamers.
Early wooden pier
The pier had its origins in a much shorter pier of just 242 feet (74 m) built on 16 wooden piles, opened in 1858 by the St George's Harbour and Railway Company, which had just completed its branch line from Llandudno to Conwy via a junction with the Chester and Holyhead Railway near the present Llandudno Junction railway station to which the branch was soon diverted. That short pier was built to protect the rights of its owners to a much more ambitious scheme to build a major port in Llandudno Bay. The pier was severely damaged in the Royal Charter Storm of 25 October 1859,[1] which caused the loss of 223 ships and 800 people in British coastal waters. Although repaired and used for a further 16 years, the pier was too short and could only be used by steam ships at high tide.
ConstructorWalter Macfarlane of Glasgow
Opening date1 August 1877
The new pier was reported to have cost around ÂŁ30,000 (equivalent to ÂŁ3,700,000 in 2023) to construct. The first pile was driven by Lord Arthur Hill-Trevor on 16 September 1876, initiating the start of a 10-month construction period.[9] By this time, 110 feet (34 m) of pier had already been completed
