During Septemper, out local newspaper and associated Facebook photography page featured a collection of photos of hidden York features. Some of them I knew, while others were something of a surprise. This sculpture of Alice in Wonderland was one of the surprises, since as far as I know there are no links between the book, it's author and the city of York, although there are links with Ripon, some 22 miles to the north-west.
The locations given for the photographs were a bit vague - this was said to be near the city walls between Bootham Bar and Monk Bar, so a bit more research was needed to discover it was quite close to Bootham Bar and was visible from the city walls, so time for a walk to find it.
It was slightly difficult to get a clear shot through the trees - perhaps I should have waited for more leaves to fall!
Sorry for my absence yesterday, I was suffering the effects of a migraine attack, so I did very little to give me chance to recover.
I think your timing was perfect, the leaves and hints of orange give her a lovely frame and her face is lovely in the sunlight. Fav.
Sorry to hear about your migraine and I'm glad you're feeling better today.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
There will be more hidden York shots, but it could be a while since there has been an increase in Covid-19 cases in the city, so Katharine and I are spending more time at home and are doing as much shopping as we can online.
Thank you to all who hoped I had recovered from my migraine attack - yes I have just tiredness now, a normal side effect of a severe attack.
@jesika2 If you have Facebook, it's worth looking at The Press Camera Club page. A search of the photos with the tag #hiddenyork will throw up a lot of hidden features that were posted in September.

Hope your migraine is better today
( Yes it did. A fact, I did getting home much earlier I wanted to.)

Jessika, it is inside the walls, about 100 metres along the wall walk from Bootham Bar, roughly where the walkway widens. I hope you find it OK.
