Stonegate at Night

292 - A slightly more festive shot of York city centre. Stonegate is always busy, with shoppers and tourists mingling as they wander along a road whose origin dates back to Roman times, when it was the main road from the south-west gate of the city towards the Roman headquarters building.

In the background, the low light of the Minster looms over the scene, while in the foreground, shoppers continue with their search for that elusive Christmas gift.
nice shot!

Perfect shot! Just enough light to show the church, and just enough people to make the street busy but not too busy.

@ladyjane

Thank you Ladyjane, and thank you for the fav!. York would lend itself so well to nice Christmas lights, but sadly little effective lighting is put up.

@pyrrhula

Thank you Pyrrhula - sadly you are right, Christmas for many has become just another marketing opportunity, but I like the restfulness of it.
