It is difficult with York given that it is mainly a tourism based city. Here is a series of shots from a walk through the city centre on a warm bank-holiday weekend.Week #21 - The Town / City where I live (York, UK)The ORIGINAL Holy Trinity - The Holy Trinity Church in York, dated back to the 13th century<img src="http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/9/2/5/2/dsc_0709-edit.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/9/2/5/2/dsc_0710.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />York is full of artists of various forms, a lot are musicians from the University. <img src="http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/9/2/5/2/dsc_0718.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Some draw and paint portraits of the tourists... <img src="http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/9/2/5/2/dsc_0704.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And others even hold "Ghost walks", telling tales of the more grizzly side of York's history... Given the City was originally settled by the Vikings, there is plenty of history to tell. <img src="http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/9/2/5/2/dsc_0711.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The main shopping area is always busy - During the summer days tourists, at night with stag & hen parties and even winter with Christmas markets and Christmas shoppers. <img src="http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/9/2/5/2/dsc_0719.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The river plays a huge part in the life of city, and the local marina were having a carnival, decorating their boats with various themes <img src="http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/9/2/5/2/dsc_0834.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/9/2/5/2/dsc_0781.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/9/2/5/2/dsc_0824.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/9/2/5/2/dsc_0810.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And finally, the various ancient churches and halls are always hosting summer weddings... Unfortunately I couldn't get nearer, so here is the piper and the back end of an old Rolls-Royce. The venue is an old traders hall in what is now Museum Gardens, one of the cities many public parks. <img src="http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/9/2/5/2/dsc_0837.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
