As my ‘Coast People‘ photo-story gains momentum I spent a few hours visiting the traditional English seaside town of Filey yesterday. Filey is a small town on the Yorkshire coast sitting between Bridlington further south and Scarborough to the north. The town has enjoyed the reputation of being a seaside resort since Victorian times and continues to draw in holiday makers and visitors.
I don’t think you can really do any town justice by spending only a few hours there and it takes a little longer to get deeper and explore a town and its people further so I will be visiting Filey again soon at a different time of the day to dig a little more and build on these pictures.
This visit was aimed at taking an initial look, to carry out a bit of a ‘recce’ if you will and to see what was there and if there were people I could try and look for or activities that might make good pictures at a different time of day or year. However I also need to take pictures of everyday life on or around the beach from the places I visit and the opportunity to do this was there yesterday so here are a few from that first visit.
