What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the picturesque coastal village of Craster in Northumberland during a gap between Covid lockdowns…

The concrete construction at the end of the right hand breakwater is the remains of tower that supported an overhead cable system that used to transfer stone from a quarry west of the village to ships in the harbour.
