The keeper

This is Cliffords tower in the city of York, the keep of the medieval Norman castle. Built on the orders of William I in order to dominate the former Viking city of York.
It was used as a jail until 1929 but its now a ruin and a tourist attraction.

Having fun with my friend, been to Kirkstall Abbey, York and Leeds city center so far. It darn cold out there tho! Having 5 mins with the computer as Ammie and Eddie are watching youtube hits programme on TV :-)

This is so cool! Is the stone golden or is that just the lighting? Love it either way! Big fan of medieval history!

Wonderful light in this photo. Also love the simplicity and contrast between the 3 aspects - snow, sky, and castle.

That just so captures the wintry light - all frosty on the snow then that golden light on the tower - nice.
