Description Whitby Abbey, Whitby, UK

The moody and magnificent ruins of Whitby Abbey are much more than a spectacular clifftop landmark. Since pre-history, successive generations have been drawn to the headland location as a site of settlement, religious devotion and even literary inspiration.

We had to climb a fence, because it was closed for public, to take a shot of this beauty. I guess it wasn't tourist season at that time.

Hope you enjoy it..

The lighting is absolutely beautiful, and I love the composition. The grass on the front really gives this something extra.

Great Britain has a lot of these ruins. They often look very mystical in fog and rain

well yeah.. hmm...
once when me and my sister was little we once went on a holiday... and we stayed in a hotel..unfortunate for us we were staying on the ground floor ..and i needed the toilet so i woke her up during the night to get her to come to the toilet with me as we were only little... so we both went into the bathroom and i went to the toilet and was happilly sat on the toilet seat doing my buisness when she happened to point out that there was ants all over the floor and the toilet and were climbing up the toilet... so i litterally had to stand on the toilet seat to avoid the thousands of ants ..... it was horrid, but funny when i think back!!!!!!!... when we had done in the bathroom we maked our way back to the bedroom which we were sharing and we was jumpimg around to avoid the ants .. and when we got back into the bedroom we werre wiping our feet on the carpet to get rid of the ants stuck to our feet .... looking bak now its hillarious !!!! lol hope that made u laff

When I first saw it, I was sure it was a 3D computer job!
They way you captured the light is breath taking.
It's truly is amazing, the light, colors, composition, all so perfect.
I even like that blurry thing in the front. though I wish it wouldn't cover so much the lake.

blurry thing in the foreground is grass. I was laying flat on the grass with my ass in the air to take this shot. At the same time my friend shot one of me. You don't even want to see that one

Thanks for the comment girl!
