While I'm not saying 'everything's ok then', after almost colour-matching the Minster, it's good to see the lawns recovering to green after a week with rain.
A split view of the central tower and corners of the north transept and north nave. left of split of taken on 14th August 2026 shows lawns baked to a golden yellow after a period without significant rainfall and temperatures up to 34°C. Right of split shows green grass growing again, taken on 21st August 2026.

There was something almost ludicrously chocolate boxy about this view of York Minster from York’s city walls, trees adorned with springtime blossom. #photo #photography
York Minster’s central tower and the octagonal Chapter House roof seen from the city walls behind shades of pink blossoms and young green leaves, and against a pale blue sky.

Well I think it made its feelings clear.

A peregrine falcon perched on the north west tower of York Minster, today at 17:24. It barely gave me any opportunity, once I'd swapped lenses, before flying off around Dean's Park then landing higher, on the south east corner of the tower, facing away from me. #photo #photography

I've been rather enjoying this magnolia in the corner of the garden of Treasurer's House, York (National Trust), over the past week or so, particularly as here with the Chapter House of York Mister - Ad Astra! #photo #photography

Happy Easter from York! Daffodils grow alongside a stretch of the medieval city walls incorporating an earlier Roman wall which once surrounded the fortress of Eboracum. #photo #photography

On this day 800 years ago, 18 March 1226, Pope Honorius III proclaimed William fitzHerbert the Patron Saint of York. Today, his tomb lies in the crypt of York Minster, worn smooth by centuries of hands of pilgrims to his shrine. #photo #photography

An historic moment yesterday as pieces of the shrine of St William of York, removed in the Reformation, returned to the nave of York Minster after a 500-year absence. See them in the Minster’s undercroft museum from this weekend, with free admission for York residents (bring proof of address).

York Minster, seen along a dark Chapter House Street. Honestly, the jump from December to January was feeling like quite a jolt, until I was reminded that it means Yorkshire forced rhubarb season approaches! And besides, it’s Christmas until Candlemas, right? #photo #photography

My Christmas cake decoration this year is a scale model of York Minster fashioned from marzipan surrounded by 12 edible choristers
The top of a large iced cake which features a large marzipan cathedral dusted with icing snow surrounded by trees, 12 choristers, and a border of shiny silver decorations.

It's been astronomical autumn for over an hour now, guess I should accept it : / Here's Autumn from the Four Seasons mosaic, dating from c. AD 250 and found in Toft Green, York, in 1853.

September. Late summer or autumn? This image from Jez of York compresses centuries of rooftops into a beautiful golden vista so redolent of historic York. We love the way in which the lancet windows of the North Transept, the iconic Five Sisters, stand out so beautifully. 🍁

An evening walk on York’s medieval city walls. The earthworks on which it is built are older, and this stretch probably follows the western perimeter of the Roman colonia - the civilian area of the city south of the River Ouse, with the military fortress on the other side. #photo #photography
Golden sunlight catches castellations on York’s city walls and lime trees beyond. An interval tower sits in the near distance.

A carved stone face set into a stone wall topped with plants sticks out its tongue at the viewer. A second castellated wall sits above and behind.
