The view from the city walls - recently in York. #photo #photography

A recent rainbow over York Minster, for York Pride tomorrow. #photo #photography

There was something almost ludicrously chocolate boxy about this view of York Minster from York’s city walls, trees adorned with springtime blossom. #photo #photography

Last night's sunset, reflected in the largest expanse of mediaeval stained glass north of the alps - the Great East Window of York Minster, completed in 1408. #photo #photography

Good morning from York

Well I think it made its feelings clear.

A peregrine falcon perched on the north west tower of York Minster, today at 17:24. It barely gave me any opportunity, once I'd swapped lenses, before flying off around Dean's Park then landing higher, on the south east corner of the tower, facing away from me. #photo #photography

York Minster in the soft light of dusk last evening. #photo #photography

I've been rather enjoying this magnolia in the corner of the garden of Treasurer's House, York (National Trust), over the past week or so, particularly as here with the Chapter House of York Mister - Ad Astra! #photo #photography

Happy Easter from York! Daffodils grow alongside a stretch of the medieval city walls incorporating an earlier Roman wall which once surrounded the fortress of Eboracum. #photo #photography

Just taken on my phone (why I should never be out without a camera) - the post-evensong sun and clouds were nice yesterday. #photo #photography.

A fox for Friday, seen yesterday. #photo #photography #York

A cruciform arrowslit in the mediaeval upper extension to the Roman fortress’s western corner tower, now known as Multangular Tower, in York. #photo #photography

Blossom-dappled sunlight bathes 32 Goodramgate and 12 College Street, timber-framed houses dating from the 14th century, once forming a gateway to the precinct of York Minster, now a gift shop and holiday accommodation. #photo #photography

A Trinity, at York Minster. Three birds fly overhead from the north-west corner of the central tower of the cathedral, the moon directly behind, on a clear-skied golden hour. #photo #photography

Cherry blossom, close up. #photo #photography

On this day 800 years ago, 18 March 1226, Pope Honorius III proclaimed William fitzHerbert the Patron Saint of York. Today, his tomb lies in the crypt of York Minster, worn smooth by centuries of hands of pilgrims to his shrine. #photo #photography

Sun, returning. #photo #photography

✨Clifford's Tower looking even more magical ahead of York BID's Colour & Light. Free show lasts ten minutes, on loop from 6-9pm, 4th-22nd February, no ticket required.

An historic moment yesterday as pieces of the shrine of St William of York, removed in the Reformation, returned to the nave of York Minster after a 500-year absence. See them in the Minster’s undercroft museum from this weekend, with free admission for York residents (bring proof of address).

No. 20 Ogleforth + No. 14 Goodramgate, York. Two early 18th century houses, now one. #photo #photography

500 years of art: the Lady Chapel reredos of York Minster, by George Bodley, 1905, beneath the Great East Window, John Thornton, 1405-1408. For Epiphany. #photo #photography

York Minster, seen along a dark Chapter House Street. Honestly, the jump from December to January was feeling like quite a jolt, until I was reminded that it means Yorkshire forced rhubarb season approaches! And besides, it’s Christmas until Candlemas, right? #photo #photography

My Christmas cake decoration this year is a scale model of York Minster fashioned from marzipan surrounded by 12 edible choristers

For the Feast of St. Celicia, 22nd November. A representation of the patron saint of music plays the mediaeval portative organ: one hand operating a keyboard; the other, the bellows. #photo #photography

When you have to stop to capture the moment. #photo #photography

Autumn, today on York's City Walls. #photo #photography

It's been astronomical autumn for over an hour now, guess I should accept it : / Here's Autumn from the Four Seasons mosaic, dating from c. AD 250 and found in Toft Green, York, in 1853.

September. Late summer or autumn? This image from Jez of York compresses centuries of rooftops into a beautiful golden vista so redolent of historic York. We love the way in which the lancet windows of the North Transept, the iconic Five Sisters, stand out so beautifully. 🍁

A waxing crescent moon, nestled atop York Minster. #YorkUK #photo #photography

A (rather damp) fox for Friday. Despite my best efforts, I’m afraid it spotted me, but wasn’t disturbed ☺️ #photo #photography

Evening sun and shadows on the north of York Minster’s nave. #photo #photography

An evening walk on York’s medieval city walls. The earthworks on which it is built are older, and this stretch probably follows the western perimeter of the Roman colonia - the civilian area of the city south of the River Ouse, with the military fortress on the other side. #photo #photography

A golden Grand. York’s five-star hotel and spa, in the prestigious former headquarters of the North Eastern Railway Company, basks in evening sunlight. #photo #photography #YorkUK

A surprising ‘hidden’ face, in an idyllic setting along York's medieval city walls. #photo #photography

Summertime views of Blossom Street, York, through the cruciform arrow slits of Micklegate Bar’s surprisingly spacious bartizans. #photo #photography

A peaceful, golden moment by the river, shared by two people and two geese. #York #YorkUK #photo #photography

York Proms, but from the ‘cheap seats’.

The Fox In The City Walls A young red fox looks out from a decorative arrowslit in York’s mediaeval city walls. #photo #photography #YorkUK

It was a cute start to the week with the foxes today in York #photo #photography
