The view from our room in Robin Hood’s Bay. The photo on the left the evening we arrived, on the right yesterday morning when thick smoke from moorland fires blew across the bay. The smell woke us in the early morning. The previous night the night sky was the clearest & starriest I’d seen for years

An elevated view across a bay of sea, distant cliffs and a small village of white houses with red rooftops…Robin Hood’s Bay. Late afternoon sunshine strikes the village, the surrounding landscape in deep shadow. A calm pale blue sea and sky with a few fluffy white clouds drifting above the horizon. A couple of small fishing boats anchored just off the bay bob along on the flat sea surface. A similar view of the landscape previously described but obscured by thick hazy blue smoke. Pale early morning sunlight fails to get through the thick smoke.
