York 26th May 2012

The last sunny day of the Spring in York. A look at the Merchant Venturers' Hall and a taste of Summer.

York Floods 12th May 2012

While the Spring rain fills up every nook and cranny of Britain I paddled out into the murky waters in search of new landscapes.

York 30th March 2012 - Daffodil Shoot

This year's anual daffodil shoot. Earlier than usual, the weather of late March more like May. Then on to York's newest attraction and some more traditional fixtures.

National Railway Museum 28th March 2012

A short trip to the dark heart of the NRM and by contrast, the brilliant sunshine outside.

York 4th February 2012

Snow and deep cold grip York and rather than suffer in the streets I head for the very heart of Winter on the old common by the marsh.

York Winter Sun 14th January 2012

 

A walk in the Winter Sun. Bright and crisp and heaving. Some old sights disappear, some new ones take shape and some places are uncertain.

York Autumn Details 12th November 2011

Perfect Autumn sunshine drew me out for another foray into York on a busy Saturday afternoon. The light seemed to bring out some of the detail often lost in the streets.

NRM 29th September 2011

My first visit to the newly refurbished National Railway Museum. More exhibits, still too little light.

Fulford Reach 28th September 2011

The weather this week has been like it should have been in the middle of Summer. Desperate not to waste the sunshine I set out for a cycle/walk down the Ouse to Bishopthorpe. The result was some archetypical views of an English country landscape.

Autumn Water Finally Appropriate Weather

A short cycle ride along the Ouse to welcome the Autumn. Summer has been largely absent from England this year so it was nice to have weather that was at least seasonable.

Foss Fields

On the last day of July I took the Little Red Bicycle for a spin up York's version of the Amazon. There were monsters, strange dark paths and endless deserted grasslands.

Architecture and Decay

A short tour round some of the byways of York that have become gently neglected in recent times and a brief return to see the Minster in a different light.

Clear Blue Water

The River Ouse is never blue but on some days you can pretend.

Rock Flowers

The Summer Sun finally simulating the brilliance of the Andes in the park. Splashes of colour among the limestone dust.

Stormy Skies

Unseasonally dark skies over York in the middle of May.

York, One Hour Walk. 20th April 2011

These photos were all collected on a random walk through York in the space of an hour. Just an example of the oddities that can be picked up if you just keep your eyes open.
