Great pictures Alan. Scarborough is only 30 minutes away from me but I have only been there a handful of times.

Thanks everyone - so it WAS worth the insomnia

Sunrise here is about 4.30 am !

( All my photos these days are taken with a " compact/ point and shoot " camera - Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ40, 18 megapixels, 20X optical zoom. It has WiFi and NFC/one-touch connectivity, GPS, touch screen, and automatic or a range of other settings - all for under £ 250 including case and spare battery. 20X zoom is the maximum I can use without a tripod. I don't edit my photos, but I do take about 10 for every one saved. )

Some really lovely photos Alan

You're so lucky to be living next to the ocean and in such a nice part of the world.

Well worth the effort

[Doc Alan]

Thanks again for your appreciation - definitely made the early morning start worthwhile

What I didn't photograph - or join - were the " skinny dippers " in the sea after a night's clubbing

Wow! That is so nice.. next time we go to Whitby we will go to Scarborough.. we always go to Whitby as my wedding will be held there soon.

Whitby is a pretty, but sleepy little place compared with Scarborough.

Much easier to find somewhere to park in Scarborough too.

I like Bridlington. Lovely big beaches and quite compact for walking around. Worth a visit.

I'd often go to all three in the same day, with my work.
