The Fisher of Dreams - We've got used to seeing this and hardly notice it now, but if you've not seen it before it before it's an impressive modern sculpture on the old railway swing bridge, which now carries the York - Selby footpath and cycle track.

A view from the river bank across to Acaster church on a frosty morning.

A dramatic sunrise at Whitby

Picture by Graham

No, not Monaco but one of the old mooring residents - gone now I think. The boat's obviously seen some action in it's time. The red paint is quite fresh, but it's probably not enough to make it completely seaworthy...

The Ebor meeting gets under way in 2007 - not the ill-fated 2008 event!

Brambles along the cycle track in August

A bit of industrial architecture, taken on a late October morning.The bridge has taken a few knocks over the years.

Picture by Ike

More in the industrial architecture/archaeology vein, this time part of an abandoned water wheel

Picure by Ike

Apologies to Sting, but I think this is a field of wheat, rather than barley. Taken in mid-August and just about ready for harvest.

A view from the bridge of the floods in August 2004

Picture by Ike

There used to be a number of abandoned but interesting farm machines in the fields between Bishopthorpe and Acaster Malbis. They've been moved away now, but were a feature for a good number of years.

Picture by Ike

Another view - it was probably state of the art when new.
