4,000 words' worth of York pictures - plus captions

Sorry about the neck crick. I'm not sure why they came out sideways.



Clever postmodern photography at its best! Picture of lady_schrapnell taking a picture of All Saints Goodramgate, a tucked-away York church complete with 16-17thC box pews (not pictured).



Lady Anne Middleton, whose eponymous hotel we graced.



Pewless! York Minster nave in the nuddy, and doesn't it look better for it? The little boys were running around trying to stick to the lines of black marble on the floor, which turn out to show an exact plan of the Jerusalem subway system, circa 1100. Dan Brown, thou shouldst be living at this hour.



Our romantic morning stroll along King's Staith suffered a small setback...

Snow sometimes, but rain far, far more often. Snow was a relative rarity in York when I lived there twenty years ago. On the other hand, it was the melting snows on the upland moors that made the Ouse prone to flood back then, and this time rain alone seems to have been enough.
