Whitby Images

Whitby is very popular with Goths because Bram Stoker was inspired by the church yard and Abbey in Whitby to write 'Dracula'. I did see a few Goths driving around in a hearse looking very Gothic! The church and Abbey are high up on the hill overlooking Whitby and you have to climb 199 steps to get up there! The Church and graveyard were a great setting for my star trail shot. It took me about 30 minutes to capture the star trails photograph. The stars seem to be moving but it is because of the earths rotation. It was a bit spooky hanging around graveyard on my own at night! The final images are of the Abbey at night and an impressive old mansion’s façade which is part of the youth hostel.
