Even stormy weather can be stunning...

As long as it doesn't produce a whole bunch of snow or tornadoes, I like the pic!

It used to be a great place for surf fishing, I have fished there many a time, sadly the North sea fishing stocks are diminished due to over fishing (inshore trawlers)

Well if you can? Please give a salute to my late great uncle Bobby Cooper and his fellow crew members. His B-17 is at the bottom of the North Sea. He last had his feet on the ground in Polebrook England. His plane went down west of Borkum Island where the Luftwaffe caught up with them and shot the plane down. Witnesses saw a few bale-out, but none of the fellas where ever seen again. All their name are listed on the wall of the missing at Margraten in the Netherlands.

I looked up Whitby. What an fascinating place and so rich in history.

I certainly will salute your late uncle Yes Whitby very rich in history, I did a thread about how Dracula and his arrival at Whitby from Transelvania a number of years back, I will see if I can dig it out.

Found it. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/my-daily-snapshot/143613-whitby-north-yorkshire.html
