The Classic Photo of Whitby Abbey

And like always.. save the best upload until last. My favourite picture taken today at Whitby in the UK - here's Whitby Abbey - the whole of it. with that pretty round window in the north facing wall and the grass contrasting against the blue sky ^^ .. couldnt have hoped for a better photo!

Whitby Abbey is a ruined Benedictine abbey overlooking the North Sea on the East Cliff above Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. It was disestablished during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under the auspices of Henry VIII. It is a Grade I Listed building in the care of English Heritage. The abbey was first established in 657AD and pulled down in part by good old Henry VIII in 1538
