It's a quiet summer afternoon in the village of Staithes, North Yorkshire. Nothing can disturb the peace, until.............................    Well that is for you to decide 🙂

Well, it was a quiet summer afternoon, but night swiftly fell bringing with it a terror of unknowing horror . . .

 

Best regards, Euan.

I heard a lobster diver was caught up in a humpback whale's mouth for a while before he was spit out. Was it in this location?

It would explain why the whale spat him out if it 'was' this location.  Yorkshire men taste horrible because of all that tripe, liver, kidneys and black pudding that they eat.

Not something I would find tasty either - not the Yorkshire men, their food choices 🙂

Did someone say, "Disturb the Peace?"

"We'll be right over," replied our billions of 17-year cicadas!

@Leslie Moak Murray : That's pretty much how it is here now, and the noise only abates when it rains!

 

@Rafael Aviles : Great picture! We have Brood X. You must have another brood if yours have just come out.

 

@Trevor.Dennis : The Giant Wētā is a scary looking bug! Is it dangerous? It's a great photo!

 

@davescm : Dave, this is an enchanting photo of the charming Village of Staithes in North Yorkshire! Cicadas are awesome in a curry (so I'm told) and I'm sure you'd love it. Maybe insect-eating @Ged_Traynor can tell us for sure!

LOL I wonder how many people had that thought Dave?  If anyone seeing this happens to watch the occasional 'Boats vs Haulover' video on YouTube, they might be taking issue with the young lady ridding the bow.  Check this video @1:15 to see what I mean
