The Chapter House
As I've got older I think I have got more cynical but occasionally you realise how nice people can be.
Since I got my hands on a Zeiss 15mm I've been thinking I need to go photograph the Chapter House ceiling at York Minster.
So with the weather looking awful today I headed to York. Made my way to the Minster, paid in and then headed straight to the Chapter House. When I got there it was shut. There where a couple of older ladies who were sorting out an area with sandwiches etc so I asked them it it was shut for the day. They explained it was as a number of important services where being held in the room. But they wanted to know why I wanted to go in as I explained on of them said well we shall have to get you special permission! Off she went and ten minutes later came back removed the barrier and said I would be ok for 15 minutes. Great when someone helps like that :)
Have to say I love this spot it's one of those places which feeds the soul!
