hilsOk, here are the photos from my trip yesterday. This is NOT a dialup friendly post. Just shy of 30 pics under the cut
Robin Hood's Bay just as we arrived
Heading down to the sea. It's not a dirty beach btw. That's mostly seaweed and silt
Derek checking the rockpool for 'beasties'
Climbing over the rocks was a scary experience. LOL!
The village. Note the sky getting darker
I started to get a bad feeling
But still managed to smile for a photo, even though the thunder had already started
Yikes!
The boys got their umbrellas out
We got soaked but took refuge in a shop. The storm moved away
Less than an hour later the sky looked like this
We headed back down to the beach
That's where we'd been standing when the storm hit
Moi
Lovely blue sky
Moi again
The village looking brighter
Derek gleefully throwing rocks into a pool and trying to splash Lord Matthew
Me and the sea
Derek tries to push Lord Matthew into the water
Hee! The tied came in while the boys were messing around and they got cut off from the shore
Wading was required
I was already back on dry land so just watched them with amusement
From my comfy rock
The village from the top of the hill, with the sea in the background
The same view as the first photo, only now the tide has come in
The Hole of Horcum. I was (erroniously) told this was caused by a meteor hitting but the interwebs tell me it's been caused by natural erosion.

Date: 2008-08-03 03:01 pm (UTC)The weather's been like that here much of the summer too. Nice day, then massive rain storm, then blue sky.
