Whitby: The East Cliff Headland

Writing is an exercise in imagination. And one of my favorite places to let my creativity run wild is Whitby, on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk.

This is a photo from the west entrance to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, a Benedictine monastery from the 12th century. With one important exception, the view encompasses layers of history.
