Default The Bluest Sky Ever (In Yorkshire anyway!)

Took this photo in Whitby on the edge of the North York Moors. It was taken in the graveyard of St. Mary church which is mentioned in Bram Stoker's Dracula at the top of the steps.

What stuck me was the blueness of the sky at arround noon. Not a cloud in the sky. The pic hasn't had any PP appart from converting from RAW using ACR.

really like the perspective you shot this on... perfect capture of the view, without losing the subject of your shot.

I think it's gorgeous! I took some photographs at an old cemetery recently and depending upon where I stood, I got the gorgeous blue sky too!
