Good to see you back Arch, I was a bit worried you were going to do a Captain Oates on us.

Great pics too, thank you.

Cheers! They don't quite do the scenes justice, I turned the flash off, but it over compensated the exposure a bit - it was a bit duskier than it looks for the first couple.

Lots of people out and about despite the weather, Christmas shopping. And a fair few coaches snarled up in traffic, as it's been the St Nicholas Fayre weekend.

Some great pics of snowy york there Arch,I've got a couple of elephant photos I took for you that I never got round to posting on CC - No idea where thet're swimming around now -somewhere on a hard drive!

So definitely worth heading out- me, I missed a ride and stayed in today...lazy!!

Fab fab pictures Arch loved the one you took for your Christmas cards very York and I remember the debate about the Shambles being pulled down! The mad 60's eh!!!!

It's a photogenic place is York! Love that white house with the german candle arches. Feel it looks a wee bit ciontrived with one in every single window though!
That one of your street looking towards the Minster is the winner if you ask me.

Lovely photos Arch - very nice camerawork. It's great to image the snow when it's new and undisturbed.

Great photos Arch - I've not been to york since I was 16, I had forgotten just how nice it is.

Wow, I'm glad you all like the pics. It was fun going out, with nothing to do but look around. I was nice and snug and warm in plenty of layers, coat, waterproof trousers and workboots.

Those German candle arches are in those houses, and another up the road, I think they are all owned by deans and canons and so forth, so it's perhaps a Minster tradition. They look so welcoming - like when a dolls house is lit up.

We collect recycling from round there, and we always say what a treat it is to be able to do our job in such picturesque surroudings. Might be fun tomorrow though, with packed snow....

Very nice pics Arch, encouraged me that I must get up to York to visit my Brother over the Christmas holiday!

Just a few more wintry snaps from work...

a couple of shots of the reserve:





And some of the centre:





And something I saw out of my window last night. I assume it was accidental rather than planned, but these tyre tracks look like candle flames...
