York Minster under a stormy sky by if1

York Minster under a stormy sky

097 - I make no apology for yet another shot of York Minster. This shot is taken from the city walls, and shows the Minster towering over other buildings bathed in sunshine.

The storm clouds beyond the Minster gave a tremendous downpour in villages north east of the city, with flash flooding in Flaxton and Stockton on the Forest.

Amazingly I managed to walk the 2 miles home before the downpour hit the northern part of York.
Fabulous capture.

Who wouldn't love York Minster. The city is a fabulous place. I'd love to se some more pics of the byways of the city ... I recall and it is a looong time ago The Shambles? So much history in the city of the white rose !

Thank you Sarah - the storm here was certainly spectacular, and I was very relieved to get home before it caught up with me!

Thank you Sue - I would expect to do more shots in the city centre over the coming days. The Shambles might be problem - it's so full of tourists this time of year!

Thank you Deb - I think the storm and sunlight really make it stand out. I've seen this effect with a storm before, but this is the first time I've had the camera with me to record it.

Thank you bruni - York is full of history going back 2000 years. I'm trying to reflect some of it during my 365
