EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Whitby breakwaters, standing tall at the entrance to the picturesque Whitby Harbour in North Yorkshire. Taken by talented photographer Dave MacLeod in 2016, this stunning print showcases a harmonious blend of natural and man-made elements that define this historic coastal town. The breakwaters themselves stand as steadfast guardians, protecting the bustling harbour from the relentless power of the North Sea. Their weathered stones bear witness to centuries of maritime history and evoke a sense of resilience against nature's forces. Juxtaposed against the vast expanse of blue water, they create an awe-inspiring sight that is both imposing and serene. Nestled within this rugged landscape is a charming lighthouse, its beacon guiding ships safely into port during dark nights. This iconic structure adds an element of romance to the scene, symbolizing hope and navigation amidst turbulent waters. Whitby Harbour itself comes alive with activity; boats bobbing gently on calm tides while seagulls soar overhead. The vibrant colors of fishing vessels contrast beautifully with the muted tones of stone buildings lining the waterfront. Dave MacLeod's expertly captured image invites viewers to immerse themselves in Whitby's rich maritime heritage. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced modern world, there are still places where time seems to stand still – where tradition meets progress and nature embraces human ingenuity.
