Whitby 199 Steps Sunset

Another classic view of Whtby's 199 steps but this time I decided for a different composition to take in the setting of the sun as it descended below the horizon of the north sea. The last remaining rays of the day kissing the tops of the grasses blowing in the gentle breeze add a sense of calm and serenity. Whitby faces north which is quite unusual to say it's on the east coast of Yorkshire, so it is perfect to watch the sun go down on an evening. In the height of summer it's possible to see the sunrise and set over the sea. Whitby is one of my favourite coastal towns on the Yorkshire coast as the photographic opportunities are endless.
