North East Coast - Runswick Bay

[Sand Dancin Donkey Walker]

Hi Guys
Been out for a late evening trek.

Tried to get the sun down evening shots, but the clouds obscured the sun before it reached the horizon, though the setting sun on the cliffs look good.

A village called Runswick Bay. Great place, though only about 10 miles from home and 8 miles from Whitby, I sadly do not visit as often as I should.

The road down to the village is a bit hairy, the road is steep in the extreme. As you approach the drop you can’t see the road, it appears you are about to drop off the cliff edge. Climbing back out of the village is fun too, a lot of cars over the years have not made it out, well not without the help of a tractor.

Nice!

Me likes, Andy!

Do you see how much more atmospheric landscapes are at sunset (or at dawn, for that matter)? The colours are just much more interesting, and accordingly so is the mood portrayed.

Hi Andy


Very nice pictures. My wife and I like walking when its dusk, less people around for a start and the mood is enhanced some what.

Hi Guys

Was one on those, spur of the moment things. A bit bored so had a drive out with the dog and ended up at Runswick Bay.

Will have to visit there more often. You are right Neil, places have far fewer people about in the early to late evenings. Much nicer to have a walk.

Hi Andy,
Nice pics. I know Runswick Bay a little - used to do a bit of diving off there - beautiful place and I remember exactly what you mean about the road. Does it get snowed in often (I know only during the winter!).
I envy you your local scenery - I'm a coast person myself but lived all my life inland - and I know what you mean about not going there often enough - I live about 5 miles from the edge of the Peak District (nice enough scenery in places but no sea ) and I very rarely venture in there.
My son is about to get a Springer Spaniel puppy and, as his job takes him around the country, sometimes for 2 or 3 days at a time (and he is single, lives alone), I anticipate him leaving the dog with us quite often, so I might have more reason to get out in the sticks a bit more often. I'm looking forward to it actually as we had dogs when I was a kid, but when I got married, moved home, both of us working, and then the kids came along, we went for cats instead (more independant). Now got 3 Persian/Exotic house cats so it's going to be interesting trying to introduce a new puppy into that environment.
Hope the new job goes well.
Cheers,
PS
Can I ask you to do me a favour? When posting pics make them only as wide as the forum page width. Your pics are beautiful but it detracts from them a little when you have to scroll them from side to side and back again to see the full picture (and "No", getting a widescreen PC is not the answer - got one !!)

Hi DaveC

The size of Andy's pictures is the max and what photo bucket allows i.e 1024 x 768. To alter to say 1000 requires a fair bit of messing around either with photobucket software or say GIMP. Bigger photos no, but I think 1024 is okay.

I saw your comment about this elsewhere.

Erm...

The pics are actually narrower than the forum page.

Indeed, I didn't want to be quite so blunt about it.

Not on my widescreen netbook they're not so .
Seriously, how can this be?
Cheers,
PS and Edit.
Just had another look at the pics on my 40" TV and, surprise surprise, the pics are indeed narrower than the text, so ......
Question) why do they show on my netbook to be much wider - is it something to do with the no. of pixels in the picture being 'x' wide and my netbook only being 'x-' pixels wide?
