Off to Newark on Saturday for the Classic Bike Guide Winter Classic..... I'll take a camera.

Then on to Leamington Spa for Sunday.....I'll take a camera.

It's raining here........

I have just noticed that there is now a Pentax Rumors tab on the Rumors site.

Ricoh must have moved up the rankings somewhat as force to be recognised......

Content and colour are great Don. The lens is a stunner and you have shown that in both images.

A clear sky Gareth, much better than I witnessed.

The cloud climbing left to centre really makes the image for me.

Thanks David, the second shot was on a tripod all others hand held. Last year it was not as busy on NYE. Maybe the better afternoon weather changed some minds?

Best regards

Wonderful set David. All up to your high standard.

Didn't know about the Aurora Gwyn but as the clouds rolled in I'm not sure it would have been possible from Whitby. Normally home by 6pm to get ready for the rest of the evening. As you, we watched Jools Holland, superb show.

Weather overcast here at the moment.

Happy New Year.

Arriving at Whitby just after 12:30 we had difficulty parking as it was very busy! The weather had already started to change so nothing new there for NYE at Whitby.

Very windy up near the abbey with gusts exceeding 35mph.

So a few shots to mark the event.

busy street




A year soon to end

we dined at the Board Inn as the Duke of York was full




let them eat cake....




Thouroughly enjoyed the few hours there.

Then it was time to head back home to prepare for the year end and see the new one in.

Best wishes and regards

The drive to Whitby was via the moors and the weather was superb. Then the clods arrived and the sun disappeared......

Whitby was packed with people! A strong, bitter cold wind was constant up at the abbey.

Disappointed?

Not at all.

and I was stuck in a pub!

Just seen the shot and its excellent. I did notice how clear the sky was on the way back from the pub however but had not seen Gwyn's initial post.

Again, very good image and great colours.

Best regards
