Whitby past and present

Whitby past and present
A view along the River Esk that makes us rub our eyes. A glimpse here of looking into the past, back to 1768 in fact and seeing Captain Cooks ship: The Endeavour, being kitted out for its epic sail to Australia and New Zealand. This is in fact a full scale replica having been built in 1993 and towed here from Middlesbrough in 2017. It now houses the 'Edeavour Experience' museum. (A similar full size sailing counterpart resides in Australia.) The bridge in the foreground is the famous swing road bridge.

See next photo for opened bridge.

Like this a lot Herb it's a creative different Image of Whitby nice job deserves a ⭐ one that I would have been proud to have taken. I have missed this one I am always looking for a different view of Whitby well done.
All the best TOZ
Ps and a nice crop and format.

Herb Riddle club has replied to TOZ club
You know Toz, when I was there, I was thinking what can I do, what is new. As soon as I saw that tall ship, I had to capture it from here but technically it was difficult to balance the exposure on this. I think if I was in Whitby alone, I would be more adventurous but the joy of being with Eileen overrides all consideration. She, is very very tolerable to my photo taking and most often echo's my snapping with her video captures but there are some places and situations that I cannot go :)
In reality, a day there with somebody like you would result in me taking far more photos and of course, much more wasted ones too. I look forward to your version of this, in time.

Keep safe. Herb

Two things I would love to see Herb, the old ships and the swing bridge. Weymouth has a bridge that lifts upwards but I have never seen one that swings out. You've packed so much into this shot! Beautifully done. Cheers, Rosa.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Hi Rosa - I am still whetting your appetite for Whitby it seems. Love it that you enjoy my takes so much. This bridge swings in two halves from each side, both independent or together. I have seen it open and I think it opened whilst we were here but I have no photos on this trip. Maybe in my catalogue of past visits maybe. Just one more day of Whitby shots before a change of scenery.

Keep safe. Herb
