York
This famous historic walled city, with its odd-looking medieval buildings in the “Shambles” to the majestic historic attractions of York Minster, has much to offer both the “casual” tourist, photographer and the historian.
The city was founded in Roman times circa 71AD and grew as a wool trading centre. In the 19th Century, York was a world-famous centre for confectionary, with Rowntrees and Terrys the main suppliers. As a “chocoholic”, I was fortunate to visit both factories, on company business, in the mid 1980s and was fascinated by the manufacturing processes and the history.
We spent a relaxed couple of days here, but really needed a week to do it justice. Below are a few of the images captured on our recent visit. (both the “old” and the “new”)

Thanks Joshi. The sunlight just before sunset, on that evening, was just perfect.

Many thanks Jocelyne. These are not multi exposure/combined images (HDR) but are single images which have been tone processed/mapped, to augment the tones in the raw image. This process, if controlled, helps to increase the vibrance and detail in an image, without making the image appear “unnatural”.
