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).

The inevitable Shambles shot, when in York..
The shop on the left is being renovated, that is why there is debris on the pavement (the new owners were working in it even this late at night).

'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.
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.
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.
York Minster is the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe. The title Minster is given to churches which in the Anglo-Saxon period were missionary teaching churches.
York Minster is in the city of York, Yorkshire, north-east England.

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.
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.
