Back in York for today's photo, and a wander down Coppergate Walk produced this view.
The traders of Coppergate Walk regularly have displays of umbrellas above the heads of shoppers, and we have previously posted photos of events they have reflected in their display, including Wimbledon tennis and the nearby Van Goch immersive exhibition.
This display is to reflect the recent York Pride event, held just over two weeks ago.
The church tower is the lantern tower of All Saints Church, Pavement. It was built around 1400AD (some 300 years after the church was first built), and in the hours of darkness a bright light was displayed to help travellers find their route through the Forest of Galtres, a haven for wolves and robbers, which surrounded the city.
I was fortunate to have a nice sunny day for this walk, one of quite a low number of sunny days recently.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
The umbrella displays on Coppergate Walk really add a splash of colour to the street scene, although they aren't very effective at protecting those walking there from the rain! The display of umbrellas usually changes each month, so I try and visit each month.

Thank you both - it was really nice to be out in the sunshine for a change!
