A busy summer's day along St Ann's Staith on the Whitby waterfront in North Yorkshire.
I know the town can become a bit rammed at this time of the year, but many of the local businesses depend on the footfall and it would be a totally different kind of Whitby without the holiday makers and day trippers.
Note the 'Dracula Experience' which draws on the town's connection with the 1897 Bram Stoker Gothic horror novel 'Dracula'.
In more recent years, the theme sees two 'Goth Weekends' taking place with a music festival and gathering attendees dressing up in elaborate gothic, steampunk, and Victorian attire.
The narrow historic streets and famous 199 Whitby Abbey steps become something of an open-air catwalk.
On a personal note, the location connects with my love of Cornwall and fondness for a real authentic Cornish pasty, thanks to the Proper Cornish Pasty Co's shop!
