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!
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...
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).

The annual vivarium that is setup at New York’s American Museum of Natural History as the Butterfly Conservatory is a wonderful 80 degree temporary home to almost 500 living butterflies and moths that just closed up at the end of May. Butterfly diversity is decreasing more and more all over the world. In fact I remember growing up not too far from where I live now in northern New Jersey and the many butterflies I would see in our back yard and the park up the street where my parents still reside. The one striking difference is the lack and in some cases total lack of butterflies and moths in many places in New Jersey and New York. They play such a vital role in the life cycle of plants so one can only wonder what effects their decreasing numbers is having on vegetation as insects like butterflies and bees continue to dwindle in number. So this wonderful Conservatory that the American Museum of Natural History sets up annually brings attention to the plight of these wonderfully diverse arthropods and allows one to literally enter into their world. I stayed within the vivarium over an hour, patiently waiting for these gifted insects would come to an area where I could photograph them. Definitely worth seeing if visiting the museum when the conservatory is up.

'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

A couple of weeks back on the Hoboken waterfront, I took some shots of the ever evolving New York City Skyline. Despite being in a pandemic, it’s done little to slow the building boom on both sides of the Hudson river.

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.

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.
