This is a first for me- a single photograph! There is a good reason, as I will be posting more in Six word Saturday tomorrow, but this little mermaid seemed to fit the bill perfectly. The view is of Huntcliff Nab at Saltburn-by-the Sea, another of North Yorkshire’s charming seaside resorts. A tradition has grown up in recent years of festooning available railings with knitting. Last year was, of course, the Royal Jubilee, but I was very taken with this year’s seaside theme, artistically draped along Saltburn pier.
I’ve written about Saltburn before, in a post called Secrets, which gives a little of the area’s history. Meantime, I hope you like my entry for this week’s Daily Post challenge. Huntcliff Nab is beautiful in its own right but I love an Unusual Point of View. Click on the link to view the other entries.

Hi Jo,
This is a great post! My favorite is the mermaid. We have a row of trees not too far from our house that people sometimes dress up late at night, when no one is looking. I think they call it yarn bombing.

There’s a statue in Seattle of a bunch of people waiting at a bus stop, and every winter someone knits them all kinds of new outfits–they have more clothes than most people!

What a lovely idea, covering railings with knitting. It seems very British somehow.

They were in need of a coat of paint, Lorna (constantly!) so it’s a good British solution 🙂 A lot of fun, too! Thanks for the tweet 🙂
