[Whitby] All the way up to the top of the steps...

So I just got in, anyways... I've been up to the East Cliff every night now, almost, since I got here. And it's never been the same twice. From breathlessly still, to seven-eighths of a gale. From bright starlight to all-consuming cloud. High tide and low, ebb and flow. The light changes shapes and moves things around - some nights the Abbey's gone

Some places just make up their own identity, purposes aside. Especially ones in the right environment for it.

Starry Wisdom? Sounds like a New Age shop.

Lol, no, that's Free Spirit over the road from our house. ^_^

...and frag me. I was about to go "oh, wikipedia already" in order to explain the Starry Wisdom (the Church of the Starry Wisdom being an HP Lovecraft reference, source quoted here by Koi) - only to discover a reference, completely new to me, to the Starry Wisdom sect ACTUALLY HAVING HAD AN OUTPOST IN YORKSHIRE.

....HOLY FRAGGING WTF. O______________O

You should be reading the damned story.

This is lyrically beautiful and wonderfully evocative . . . and while I wish I was there to see it, I feel like I already have, through your eyes.

Thank you for sharing!

Not sure if you know but on the Saturday (I think) of WGW this year they are having a mock victorian funeral complete with procession and local victorian tradesmen in the St. Mary's graveyard.

Wonderfully written, thank you.
