The ruined remains of the chapel of St Leonard’s Hospital, York, c. 1240 - one of the largest mediaeval hospitals in the north of England, if not the country. Mostly for the sunset, though. #photo #photography

The roofless, ruined remains of the 13th century magnesian limestone chapel of St Leonard's Hospital, York.

Funnily enough, in the gym, my watch/phone, set to 'British (Voice 3)', does ask me if I want to start a "rowing" workout.

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

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

It’s nice not to be taking my lenses for a walk, sometimes.

They can be heard, but not seen, in this one, again just to help me look.

Yes, forgive the poor quality video, it was just to use my phone to look for them. This was five minutes after that photo. One flies off, then the other appears - I didn’t notice at the time, only saw the one fly off.

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

I agree; I suppose at least Potions Cauldron and the like aren't selling anything licensed (or pretending to be), so aren't contributing directly but tangentially benefitting from the increased interest in 'wizard' themes. I miss Via Vecchia, though.
