Another one taken in York a couple of weeks ago, this time at the end of a foraging walk for brunch which was eaten in Rowntree Park on what turned out to be a ridiculously mild day. Oh, how the weather has changed since then! HSS!
York Minster is the second-largest Gothic cathedral of Northern Europe and clearly charts the development of English Gothic architecture from Early English through to the Perpendicular Period. The present building was begun in about 1230 and completed in 1472. York is the largest cathedral completed during the Gothic period of architecture, Cologne Cathedral only being completed in 1880, after being left uncompleted for 350 years. It has a cruciform plan with an octagonal chapter house attached to the north transept, a central tower and two towers at the west front. The stone used for the building is magnesian limestone, a creamy-white coloured rock that was quarried in nearby Tadcaster. The Minster is 524.5 feet (159.9 m) long and the central tower has a height of 235 feet (72 m).

Also known as the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter, the Minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York (the third highest office of the Church of England).
The present Gothic style church was built over 250 years between 1220 and 1472.
The inevitable Shambles shot, when in York..

'Shambles' is the name of a street in the old part of York. It's a relatively short street but the charm of it is that most of the buildings have been there for a long, long time, some of them actually overhanging the street. And make no mistake, some of these buildings are proper old, some dating back as far as 1350 (yes, I did say 1350!). It's gone a bit Harry Potter in recent years with all kinds of shops selling things like broomsticks and magic charms. A hit with the tourists you might say. And yes, that's true. But you can't deny that when the tourists clear out it does have a wonderful look to it and well worth a photo or two.
If you want to know the history of this street, and I assure you it is quite interesting, then have a look at the Wikipedia page which can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shambles

The fourth tallest skyscraper in New York City for now as something is coming to that Central Park tall corridor that will eventually push it down one position is the One Vanderbilt which from this perspective is not visible but is adjacent to Grand Central Terminal as captured from Bryant Park just shy of 42nd Street. An interesting structure that drew much protest that former Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to change the strict Grand Central corridor air rights to allow this and other buildings at the end of his last term in 2013, the local residents, preservationist and politicians strongly opposed so Mayor Bloomberg withdrew his rezoning petition. It was his successor Mayor Bill de Blasio who finally worked the compromises despite strong resistance and opposition from the Historic District Council and Society for Architecture of the City by getting the builder to include 210 million dollars towards transit improvements to sweeten the pot. I have still not been up to its summit called ironically The Summit a unique series of high observation viewing area with amazing views, had a young friend and his fiancé share some lovely images, viewing images online/social media has piqued my curiosity, maybe be considering doing visit to the Summit at sunset on one of my trips back east to see my daughters, parents and specialist. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @mpbcom @kehcamera @one_vanderbilt @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot #nycprimeshot @nybucketlist #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography
If you have never been to Dyker Heights during the holiday season and you live in New York City or in New Jersey, you will be amazed at the spectacular Christmas decorations that the mainly residential neighborhood in the southwest corner of Brooklyn do every year. There are actually paid tours that take tourist to see the light in Dyker Heights every year! Still time to see it you are close and haven’t but I hear a nasty cold storm is going to hit my family and friends up in the northeast for Christmas so the priority is to stay safe and warm this Christmas weekend! - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nybucketlist @dykerheightschristmaslights #christmas
Aspects of York on 5 & 6 October 2022. A view across the River Ouse from the south bank. Just after 8 o'clock in the morning and river cruisers and small motor craft await their first passengers of the day.
Cat lovers often are the kindest and gentlest people. I met this older couple in Brooklyn and this is their cat, Star. There was an older woman who lives with Star who told me she was very concerned because Star is quite old and she had her father and her father was showing the same kinds of behaviors before he passed away.
There's a really strong connection between pet lovers when we talk about loss of a pet. It really is something that almost surpasses what humans are capable of enduring...the suffering we feel when a pet we love and cherishes dies. I could feel the woman I spoke to preparing for this mentally but also having that internal conflict of wanting to enjoy the time she had left without the depression already setting in.
I talked to this human for quite a bit and was told about how Star's father cat was so smart that he used the toilet instead of the litter box and how Star has to have special food and treats. We cat lovers pick up on little nuances particular to each personality and we treasure them as if they are individual gifts (because they are!)
Anyway, I couldn't tell if the man in the photo was the woman's son or partner. I had the impression when I was speaking to her below where the man and Star were standing in this shot that she was the kind of human that appreciated a conversation more than a photograph and it was just nice to have that moment. Sometimes, you have to remind yourself that there are other ways of collecting memories and sometimes words (too many words in this case as I'm rambling) can serve a purpose. I've made a note to revisit the image of her in my mind mentally but, within that image, is not merely a woman but a woman who loves cats and all those felines she's adored who've adored her back.
Have a nice Caturday.

Trinity Church. Trinity Church is a historic parish church at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York.
The oft photographed Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 1 pylons, a vestige of the many piers that lined both the east and west waterfront of the East River are a link to the past. All the water front warehouses that were located here just south of Fulton Ferry and the iconic Brooklyn Bridge are gone, replaced by a wonderful recreational and residential oasis on the Brooklyn Heights waterfront. I chose for this image taken back in July of last year to concentrate on the pylons themselves as usually the images taken include the lower Manhattan skyline with the pylons playing the leading lines role towards the skyline. I took a closer more detailed image of said pylons, used an exposure of 60 seconds which makes the water appear as frozen. As a lad, I and my friends would often venture onto the dilapidated piers that once lined the West New York and Weehawken Hudson River waterfront in New Jersey, belonging to Ford Motor Company, New York Central Railroad and other commercial occupants that had abandoned the waterfront before I was born in 1963. We would venture out on these dangerous piers, the wood rotted, daring each other to see who would go out the furthest. Was it safe? By no means, but it is things boy and girls do at a certain age, seeking independence and pushing boundaries. All those piers with few exceptions are completely gone as the New Jersey waterfront is a mecca of costly luxurious residences.

York Castle in the city of York, England, is a fortified complex comprising, over the last nine centuries, a sequence of castles, prisons, law courts and other buildings on the south side of the River Foss. The now-ruinous keep of the medieval Norman castle is commonly referred to as Clifford's Tower. Built originally on the orders of William I to dominate the former Viking city of York, the castle suffered a tumultuous early history before developing into a major fortification with extensive water defences. After a major explosion in 1684 rendered the remaining military defences uninhabitable, York Castle continued to be used as a jail and prison until 1929.
