Still with the Bomb Squad and their Educated Vandals exhibition in York, and here taking advantage of the view through the window at the top of the staircase, getting a different look at the towers of York Minster over the nearby rooftops.
York Minster has dominated the city centre for hundreds of years. It makes a useful landmark when navigating your way, and can be seen from several of the main roads leading towards the city.
York Minster is not only a well known feature of the city of Yorks, but also one of the best known landmarks in the County of Yorkshire. Today, 1st August, is Yorkshire Day so Happy Yorkshire Day to you all!
There are some good views of the Minster as it rises above the buildings in the city centre, but it was good to get a shot from this new viewpoint.
And a Happy Yorkshire Day to you too.
That’s a super view of the Minster but I often wonder what must have looked like when it was finally finished and before various building projects began.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I will be looking and commenting on your photos later this afternoon - at the moment we are very busy playing games and building a Duplo house with our younger grandchildren.
I suppose that in the past the Minster must have been more dominant since other buildings would have been smaller than modern ones. On the other hand there wouldn't have been such open views as that along Duncombe Place or from College Green, so really a bit of swings and roundabouts.

Thank you Vesna. It is always nice to find a new view of York Minster.
