Just catching up from being away …. A remarkable shot of this … love all the angles and colors as well!
Thanks MM, it was a photo I took whilst I was away.
If Heaven has windows it could not have finer.
Windows to the soul
Very nice Cherie
Thanks Jams
Such a gem.
That top centre window moves me. The light moves in mysterious was.
MTG – supposedly crystal, isn’t it?
I have never been to Heaven but it’s nothing for you to worry about, James.
Heaven = Crystal… No I don’t think so
Heaven = Place… No I don’t think so.
Heaven is a place in our (connected) hearts and our very being. It is something we feel, the feeling can best be felt when connecting with nature…
I’ve been there several times and I never fail to be amazed at the magnificence of York Minster, stunning pic again Cheryl.

The structure and history are fascinating in equal measures.

Very nice and your photo is fantastic.
Thanks Annie
You went to York?
Did you go to Betty’s?
They bake a lot of nice cakes!!!
I went to York on more than one occasion. When I took this photo, yes I did visit Betty’s. This last weekend in York I only managed to visit little Betty’s.
They do provide exceedingly nice cakes
Little Betty’s – Oh yes, I had my afternoon tea there.
But I also went to Big Betty’s to get stuff home.
Alas, I finished most of them on my way home! Ha…
Some long journey, eh!
A very long journey for you. I forgot to in and get some tea bags to bring home with me. Ooops!
Magnificent. I love the sharpness and beauty of the roof and arches. More importantly as your post draws attention to the window the exposure almost looks HDR like. Too often scenes like this portray the glory of the window alone or a dark interior building as well. Top class exposure and result.
I’m not controversial or prone to debate but wasn’t the roof of York Minster the scene of a re-construction in modern times. A fire caused by a lighting strike in the same week after ordaining a Bishop who was opposed to the basic element of what makes the Christian faith work. Now what’s the chance in a million of that coincidence, Heaven speaks.
This particular window fascinates me. There are no bright colours in any of the glass, but that top window when captured on a photo always produces that glowing light.
This photo is from my previous visit. The photos from my last weekend in York were taken with a different camera, but show the same effect…
You are right about the lightening strike and the appointment of a controversial Bishop. I am not sure why he was considered controversial, I haven’t looked into it.
In relation to that all I will say is that ‘there is no such thing as a co-incidence’. It is a big area for discussion.
Splendid view ! I’m so grateful to see places, on the enlarged flickr, I could never visit. And maybe to see all the details better, in a photo, than I would in person. Thank you!
I am glad you are enjoying the virtual journeys
