July Whitby visit
On Tuesday July 19th a coachful of members and friends went off to Whitby
Several roads were closed .....
|
... for a parade of soldiers before their tour of duty overseas.
|
Some went straight up to the Abbey
|
looking beautiful in the sunshine
|
We admired the view
|
before returning down the 199 steps.
|
Down in the harbour, serious work began
|
with several members doing sketches of the cliff view.
|
Individual concentration!
|
Group support.
|
Gulls were everywhere
|
posing for the artists
|
Everyone enjoyed the experience
|
of sketching different views.
|
Some kept working...
|
..while others enjoyed the local fayre.
|
The harbour, gulls, buildings ....
|
... boats and lobster pots made good subjects to draw.
|
And we couldn't visit Whitby without seeing the whalebone arch ...
|
.. and saying 'Hello' to Captain Cook. All in all, an excellent day - with remarkably good weather.
