Sanctuary - Whitby

This image was taken on a trip to Whitby and was under the theme "Sanctuary". Everytime i look at this image it makes me feel very calm and relaxed. i think it is because the image itself looks very calm and tranquil, the only thing causing distruption is the small boat making a few gentle ripples in the water. The water look otherwise quite calm. It was taken during a trip to Whitby, it was quite a warm day and the sun was shining fairly brightly, you can tell this from the lightness of the sky and also the reflections of light on the water. The location is well away from the main tourist area of Whitby and it was very peacefull here, i think this picture reflects the quiet/peacefull feelings i had about the place. The reason i have looked at it as a "sanctuary" is due to the quietness and the area being very picturesque, it felt like a place you could escape from your normal life to, a place that you could get peace and quiet and pretend you were whoever you wanted to be for a short space of time.
