Tree Carving

When the Avenues area of Hull was built they were lined with trees which, over the years, grew and grew. Now the soil of Hull is really just glorified play-doh. Big trees and houses built on clay don't mix very well, so the big trees have got to come down and be replaced by less troublesome varieties. Rather than just removing them completely the stumps have been carved into various sculptures.  The local church is called St Cuthbert's  so I guess that explains why we have a Lindisfarne theme.

Boats

A mute swan stands in what appears to be a pile of old boats. This is the moorings at Beverley Beck.

Playtime

Low tide

Green

When the good folk of Beverley were building their town they needed stone to make foundations. They dug chalk from the area now known as Newbegin Pits. These are now a delightful overgrown woodland, wonderfully spooky in places.

Apple Glow

 

Here we see the golden glow of the apples of the Hesperides and not the sun setting over Golf Links Road.

Yorkshire Belle

Gerald (Hyde DP)   enquired the other day about the Yokshire Belle, this old boat has been taking trippers up and down the Yorkshire coast for over sixty years.
