Saltburn beach


The water was cold and delicious to the touch, the cool wind made me shiver but i looked up into the sky and felt the merciless rays of the sun beating down. My friend is coughing, water has gone up her nose, maybe she is suffering or is she play acting? i bet my brother runs into the sea and holds his breath as the icy water splashes his body.

the boy and the sewage pipe


I splashed in the sea, and chased some seagulls with a stick and built sand castles under the hot sun. My dad bought me an ice cream and a milk shake but what better way to end this perfect day and play along this disused sewer pipe. Some it will be hometime and i shall dream of the sea and the smell of the seaweed and the roar of the surf.

charlies angels

Two secret agents lost in there thoughts, one disguised as a glamorous surfer and the other as a middle aged woman, note the serious padding and the lined face this took hours of make up and method acting or was this Camille Parker Bowles?

Saltburn


They are so beautiful and she has such a wonderful smile, they were lost in there thoughts and so much in love, just as they were about to cross a busy road i asked if i could take there picture. She smiled and they held hands. I wished her luck with the baby.

toilet door


Please believe me i do not make a habit of taking photos in men's toilets, trust me! i was probably lucky not to get arrested. I captured the racist and sexist graffiti on the toilet door, to show the other passions, hatreds and desires that lay within the human heart. A Public convenience in Whitby.

Amity shark patrol


This smiling lady was looking at her boyfriend displaying a small fish he had caught about the size of a tadpole. I asked him if he strained his arms pulling in this mighty shark, he laughed and i caught this great shot, i have re cropped it to focus on the delightful expression on the girls face.

sweets


Whitby has some truly amazing shops. In a shopwindow in the gathering gloom i spotted these minute sweets and puddings for a dolls house. Imagine being in Lillput and being able to hold one of these in your hand and bite through the delicate pastry to savour the sweet taste. To smell the mazipan and the icing sugar and to touch these to your quivering lips. MMmmmmmmmmmm
