Still in Svalbard. We were on a boat trip to an old Russian mining community, Pyramiden. Our boat was picked out to help with an exercise of new crew on the helicopter. People were winched up and down to the helicopter from the deck of our boat, amazing if not a little noisy to watch.

This shot I took in Svalbard at Mine number 3 it was a working coal mine between 1971-November 1996. All the equipment was just left were it was. Everyone left in the middle of a shift.
Here you see part of the workshop, plans and half built constructions were everywhere.With such poor lighting and not wanting to use flash I used natural light streaming though a very dirty window.

I was lucky enough to spend 5 days on Svalbard recently and that kind of polished my poor landscape genre a little. This I took on my last day there. It had already started to snow and the local mountains already had a good coating of the white stuff.

Down by the sea in Whitby I came across this building. To me it kind of looks like a Minion. At least I think so.

I have a love hate relationship with landscapes. I love other peoples, my own efforts I always find somewhat lacking. However I offer you dear reader, this example. I took it while on a walk on the North Yorkshire Moors. It had just stopped raining so the clouds were quite dramatic I thought.

…I met while wondering around Whitby abbey. Dracula enthusiasts will know that Bram Stokers book is based around the Abbey and Whitby’s environs. In fact I was waiting for a Dracula play to start when this wonderful couple walked passed me. I couldn’t pass up the temptation to ask them to get in front of my lens.

We had a day trip to Whitby and wouldn’t you know it there was a Steampunk gathering. There were so many it was difficult to know where to start. However these guys wanted to be photographed so it wasn’t that hard to get some great shots of some very friendly people.

I visited a local Jazz festival. I was trying to avoid the rain and not doing too well when I spotted these guys watching a band. The contrasts in this shot caught my eye. This shot is in black and white, you can see there are more contrasts at work here.
