Two crows, two people, one dog

Morning on the Yorkshire coast
Looking south-east from the cliffs atop Scarborough’s south bay. You can just make out the staircase I posted a couple of shot of recently at lower left. Further down the coast is the arc of the former South Bay Bathing Pool and from there the cliffs continue towards Bempton and Flamborough Head.

Come on down
This is the same set of steps as featured in yesterday’s image, but this time from their foot. I didn’t plan on having a figure in the picture, but this chap walked into frame as I was about to press the shutter.

Descending
I chatted with this couple for a few minutes. They told me how much they’d enjoyed their stay in Scarborough and had been surprised that it was much bigger than they expected. I’d planned on photographing this scene before I spoke with them, but thought their semi-silhouettes would add to the picture. And they do.

Three boats in Scarborough harbour
I’m quite surprised (and happy) by how many of these light-leak-affected photographs were able to be rescued by some creative cropping. While none of the cropped images reflect my originally intended compositions, most of them still manage to retain a level of quality that I’d worried would have been lost when I first saw the negatives. High-res scans certainly help too

Clifftop hotel (again)
I don’t know why I didn’t post this as part of yesterday’s post – it’s literally the same place from a different angle. I’m going to blame the cold I have which is making me feel poorly.
