The Shambles is a historic street in York, England, featuring preserved medieval buildings, some dating back as far as the fourteenth century. The street is narrow with many timber-framed buildings with jettied floors that overhang the street by several feet. It was once known as The Great Flesh Shambles, probably from the Anglo-Saxon Fleshammels (literally 'flesh-shelves'), the word for the shelves that butchers used to display their meat. In 1885, thirty-one butchers' shops were located along the street, but now none remain.
I don't know if it came across but this young girl was helping parents collect used cans and bottles to make a little money to survive in New York...
No matter where I am walking, I am always looking in the windows of nearby houses to see if I can spot a cat. It makes me so happy.

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. It is administered by its Dean and chapter. The title "minster" is attributed to churches established in the Anglo-Saxon period as missionary teaching churches, and serves now as an honorific title; the word Metropolitical in the formal name refers to the Archbishop of York's role as the Metropolitan bishop of the Province of York. Services in the minster are sometimes regarded as on the High Church or Anglo-Catholic end of the Anglican continuum.
'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

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
Soulis: Resting by the Green Wall. This is right across from the United Nations building in New York City, New York.
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.
