I live in Whitby and this isn't real. It was a Photoshop, alongside a few other monuments, as a demo. Trust me, there is NO way you could do this with current drone tech at Whitby Abbey, it's impossibly windy up on the cliffs.

Thanks for clarifying, I went to Whitby as a tourist years ago and thought the same thing.

Interesting to see what the ruins would have looked like in any case though

I’m afraid this isn’t what the ruins would have looked like. Absolutely made up. Those flying buttresses for a start are codswallop

Oh wow yeah, I just looked at a virtual reconstruction,

No flying buttresses, center elevated section didn’t have a pointed roof, it was like a castle turret

The “drone” photoshop definitely took some liberties

I think I'm just in a mood, but fuck this is aggravating all the way down.

Not drones? Fine, still cool. Oh, not actually how the building looked? Well, maybe we don't know for sure and it's an educated guess. Oh, we have reconstructions to use as a guide and it's not even similar? THEN WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS EVER FOR!?

Man I used to go to Whitby every year to visit my nanna. I went to Scarborough last week and it's made me want to go back to Whitby again. Been over 10 years now. I need to take my son...

I've been here for a couple of years now, it's an amazing feeling to call the cobbles I walked as a kid on holiday my home.

Yeah I bet. It's a gorgeous, hilly town. Absolutely loved the place and have very fond memories.

It is not real, it’s already an edit. If it’s actually drones, it’s one drone that someone flew around and took a bunch of pics of. If it was multiple drones, like a drone show, they would crash in each others’s downdraft. Particularly the ones making up the flying(lol) buttresses.

But in any case, pretty incredible artwork. I would love to know the artist.

I'm disappointed by the lack of Pac-Man photoshops in this thread.

it's really frustrating that this sub is basically just r/pics and no one who posts here actually cares about how photoshop-worthy their post is
