A striking monochrome photograph captures the majestic ruins of Whitby Abbey, perched dramatically on the East Cliff overlooking the North Sea in North Yorkshire. The image emphasises the abbey's ancient, Gothic grandeur and the atmospheric setting, enhanced by an overcast sky.

The central focus is the ruined shell of the 13th-century Benedictine abbey, showcasing its impressive Gothic architecture with towering pointed arches and intricate stonework. The surviving portions of the eastern arm & north transept stand prominently against the sky.

Rendered in mono, the photo accentuates the dramatic & haunting quality of the ruins. The heavily clouded, ominous sky casts the abbey in a brooding light, contributing to the evocative atmosphere often associated with the site.

The abbey is set amidst a field of tall, wild grasses that sway in the foreground, creating a sense of rugged natural beauty & isolation. In the distance, beyond the abbey ruins & across the headland, glimpses of Whitby's coastline & the North Sea can be seen, hinting at the abbey's clifftop location & panoramic views.
A small, solitary figure can be discerned in the far left of the frame, providing a sense of scale & adding a touch of human presence within the vast historical landscape. This figure also enhances the feeling of introspection & awe in the face of such ancient ruins.

Spooky lore;

A well-known ghost story associated with the abbey is that of a young nun who was bricked up alive as punishment for falling in love and breaking her vow of chastity.
Visitors & locals have claimed to hear the screams of the tortured nun within the abbey walls at night.

Another legend tells of the first Abbess of Whitby, Lady Hilda, who is said to appear at the highest window of the ruins on dark, stormy nights.

Whitby is famously featured in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. It depicts Count Dracula as a large dog-like creature coming ashore & running up the 199 steps to the graveyard near the abbey.

Sky view of "the garden of warriors" watching over La Pedrera. Architecture is art with this Modernista design by Antoni Gaudí. Barcelona, Spain. 🇪🇸 ❤️
#BlueSkyArtShow theme: #Skyline
#LaParera #CasaMila #Barcelona #Spain #Travel #Photography #Art #Stunday #ModernistaArchitecture #Gaudí #Photos

View from the rooftop of Casa Milà, and also known as La Pedrera with its unconventional rough-hewn appearance, a Modernista building in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by architect Antoni Gaudí and was built between 1906 and 1912.

All of these elements, constructed out of brick covered with lime, broken marble, or glass have a specific architectural function but are also real sculptures integrated into the building of the chimneys and vents.

Net-mending on Arwad

One of my favourite pre-digital diptychs, completely enhancement free. The predominant colours of the island in 1993 were shades of blue.

A fisherman is bent over his net, mending it in preparation for tomorrow’s fishing expedition into the Mediterranean. His head face and arms are deeply tanned from the sun and the sun‘s reflection off the water. I don’t think he was terribly pleased with me taking a picture of him at work. He was/is a human being and not a mere tourist attraction.

The blue fishing net is neatly arranged over the back of a wooden chair. The bright red floats are clustered together in an unconsciously attractive pattern. The colour is important for visibility in the water. Their shades of red are pale imitations of the red brown of the fisherman’s skin.
