Last afternoon in #Whitby #WhaleboneArch

After a refreshing walk to #Sandsend we decided to go into town and worked our way to the harbour.

Our first stopping place was to view the Whalebone arch, another famous landmark in the town and another chance for a sketch.

After that we crossed the bridge and walked through the small shopping area viewing the craft shops and small galleries.

On entering the first gallery I wasn't sure what a naked sale was. It turned out to be that the pictures weren't framed not that the assistants were in a state of undress!

On a serious note it was good to see that there were some of the artists who had a distinctive style of their own that represented the area. There were also a nice range of local scenes.

On making our way to the harbour, although warm, the sea was quite rough. We walked along the harbour wall and sheltered while the sea pounded the rocks and structures around us. This was quite exhilarating and another scene to capture, although difficult to really get a feel for the force of nature.

An impressive end to our stay in Whitby and somewhere we look forward to returning to.
