Taken from the bank of the River Ouse, between Clifton Bridge and Scarborough Bridge on a section of the river known as Clifton Long Reach.
This is a shot I've taken before, several times, from slightly different viewpoints, although I've not shared it before on 365.
The two western towers can clearly be seen, with the central tower partly obsured. In the foreground are the rooftops of houses along Sycamore Terrace. At the very bottom is part of the flood bank which is in the process of being increased in height by around 1 metre - part of a massive upgrade of flood defences following the flooding along the River Foss on Boxing Day 2015.
This is a view that would be shared by those on the tour boat shown in yesterday's post.
Beautiful shot and view. I always wanted to visit York but have never made it to there despite visiting the U.K. many times. When I was young I was enthralled by the Wars of the Roses with Richard III taking first place.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Over the years I've taken this view several times. The main change is the growth of the trees - far less of the Minster is visible now than it was years ago.
I love York Minster, we used to visit regularly when we were children.

Thank you Nina - it's a lovely walk beside the river, with some nice views.
