Aspects of York on 5 & 6 October 2022.
A break in York City Walls at the south end of Lendal Bridge across the Ouse. This road leads alongside the river and into the Remembrance Garden.
The Christmas Tree that’s put up under the Washington Square Park Arch annually by the Washington Square Association. The Washington Square Association was the first neighborhood organization in New York City with over 100 years of service to the neighborhood and was the city’s second civic organization after the Municipal Art Society. Washington Square Park is in the heart of Greenwich Village, surrounded by the campus of New York University. It was a very frigid night I took this picture this past December, thus the lack of people in the usually heavy trafficked Washington Square Park which created a nice focus on the Christmas tree itself. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nycparks @nybucketlist @wspconservancy #washingtonsquarepark
This was taken of the well-known York Minster which is in the background behind some unknown buildings in the town of York, England. I was walking the York City Walls when I captured this. The York Minster has some of the most amazing stained glass you will ever see, and apparently some of it dates back to the 12th century - definitely worth a visit if you are ever in York.
Thanks to everyone for stopping by to view, fave, and comment.
This is the way I see You.
Not as a human.
Not as a physical entity.
But as a fully realized moment.

Aspects of York on 5 & 6 October 2022.
Looking downstream under the Ouse Bridge, the middle one of the three road bridges across the River Ouse in York centre, which was completed in its present form in 1821. It is on the site of, or very close to, earlier structures that date back to the Vikings, a wooden bridge having been reported as collapsing in 1154. The earliest bridge in York was built by the Romans on a site a few hundred metres upstream from here, not far below the 1863 completed Lendal Bridge. Further downstream is Skeldergate Bridge of 1881.
Obviously not taken this year!
Hope everyone is doing okay.
What a year!

The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York, commonly known as York Minster, is the cathedral of York, North Yorkshire, England, and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the third-highest office of the Church of England (after the monarch as Supreme Governor and the Archbishop of Canterbury) and is the mother church for the Diocese of York and the Province of York.
The Gothic style in cathedrals had arrived in the mid 12th century. Walter de Gray was made archbishop in 1215 and ordered the construction of a Gothic structure to rival Canterbury; building began in 1220. The north and south transepts were the first new structures; completed in the 1250s, both were built in the Early English Gothic style but had markedly different wall elevations. A substantial central tower was also completed, with a wooden spire. Building continued into the 15th century.
The Chapter House was begun in the 1260s and was completed before 1296. The wide nave was constructed from the 1280s on the Norman foundations. The outer roof was completed in the 1330s, but the vaulting was not finished until 1360. Construction then moved on to the eastern arm and chapels, with the last Norman structure, the choir, being demolished in the 1390s. Work here finished around 1405. In 1407 the central tower collapsed; the piers were then reinforced, and a new tower was built from 1420. The western towers were added between 1433 and 1472. The cathedral was declared complete and consecrated in 1472.
“How do you know, when you think blue — when you say blue — that you are talking about the same blue as anyone else?
You cannot get a grip on blue.
Blue is the sky, the sea, a god’s eye, a devil’s tail, a birth, a strangulation, a virgin’s cloak, a monkey’s ass. It’s a butterfly,
a bird, a spicy joke, the saddest song, the brightest day.
Blue is sly, slick, it slides into the room sideways,
a slippery trickster.
This is a story about the color blue, and like blue, there’s nothing true about it. Blue is beauty, not truth.
‘True blue’ is a ruse, a rhyme; it’s there, then it’s not.
Blue is a deeply sneaky color.”
--Christopher Moore, "Sacré Bleu: A Comedy d'Art"
