York trip
Went to York yesterday. Had a tough time getting the tickets to York before that, but everything is worth it because it is really a beautiful place. York is a town surrounded by City Wall built by the Rome back in 17th century. An old town with many historical buildings and most importantly, York Minster - The most beautiful church i've ever seen! So grand and magnificent! Took two hundred over years to build and has the most stained glass than any of the churches in Northern Europe. Also, the buildings there are built in an interesting way with the ground floor being the smallest and the upper floors bigger and bigger. They are shaped like a cone. Wonder how do they stabilise themselves in an event of quake! Haha.. but there's no earthquake here. Booooo.....
Anyway i love York and the minster is really very impressive! Here are the photos...
One of the York Minster entrances.
Part of the Minster. It's too big to fit all into a single photo!
Northern hall of Minster.
Beautiful decorated interior with stained glass..
Rose windows of the Chapen House. The lookup view from the bottom centre of Chapel House. Amazing, isn't it?
A hall for the choir, fitted with so many organ consoles along the aile! Isn't it grand? How i wish i had the chance to hear the organ console in this choir hall. Superb feeling of being in there!
Lookup view at the centre of Minster. North, south, east and west are the 4 ends of Minster. Minster is built as a cross shape. Hence, there are 4 ends.
Look at the statue at the east end! Beautiful... ...
Enough of photos of the church, now with me inside! hehee...
Statue and me!
Evidence of me been to the Chapel House and seen the Rose window. Hahaa..
I like this photo very much!
Enough of the Minster photos. Let's move on...
Came across this artist near the Minster. Inspired me to pick up my brush and paint again! Ever since i've came to UK, i've been so inspired to draw and paint, and be an artist! Hai.. will it be possible?
Next we went to the Clifford Tower...
We've made it to the top! Haha.. in fact, it isn't that tall.
At the top of clifford tower.
Castle Museum
On the streets...
What is this knight walking around on the streets in this attire???
