Zoom - zoom - zoom
Last weekend we zoomed up to the North of England to visit our friend Carol and whilst we were up there, we visited a small town called Richmond, a village called Gosmont and the seaside town of Whitby.
Here are some pictures:

Looking up . . .
. . . and looking down!!
Posing??
Gosmont
Gosmont is one end of the North Yorkshire Steam Railway track
The 9:10 hours train pulling out of Gosmont station
I love steam trains. They just have that special character.
Makes you want to play with your model railway, huh??!!
Whitby
The Whale Bones at Whitby
Is the woman on the phone saying: "Yes, I've come to the end of land! Now what??"
Whitby parking attendant???

The village looks very nice and interesting, and the train looks great.
Looks like a great weekend, my boys would love a ride on the steam train.
Looks nothing like Richmond, Virginia :).
Great pics.
last weekend? are you sure? because i'm fairly certain that last weekend the entire country was headed toward ark building!
thanks for your comment on my blog. i really appreciate it, and have edited the post to reflect that.
All these traveling pictures have inspired me. I want to go somewhere!
Looks very Yorkshirey!
The photos are great as always Erik... we can plan vacations around your pics..lol
I am seeing places in England I've never had the opportunity to visit. I love market towns they are so full of character. The steam trains bring back childhood memories of trips to the seaside, no holidays we were too poor, just the odd day trip, but how we enjoyed them.
I am always amazed by your photos. They are great and I can just feel myself walking down those streets begging my husband to let me go in at least one or two stores. Thanks for taking us with you.
Definitely not what I see around here! Once again, great photos, Erik. I love when you "take us along" on your journeys.
