After some food and drink, I went back out for a final stroll around York before the late night train home, giving me a chance for a few night shots. I didn't want to carry the big tripod all day, so I just had Mr Bendylegs, the wee mini tripod in my satchel, but it is handy for this kind of shooting on the hoof!
This was a return to the King's Manor that I had snapped earlier in the afternoon - see here www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/54062159406/in/d... - and I wanted to try and bag a night shot of it.
The King's Manor started life as a residence for the Abbot of Saint Mary's Abbey in the 12th century, but was substantially rebuilt in th 15th century. After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539 it became the headquarters for the Council of the North.
Royal occupants have included Henry VIII, James the VI and I, and Charles I. Since the 1960s it has been part of the University of York's campus. Despite being in the cramped, historic heart of York, it's set back a little from the road, in its own leafy grounds, giving it an almost country house feel despite just being a few steps from a busy main road and bus stop.
I especially loved the carved details around the doors (including a royal crest), and snapped some close ups of those.The fact that it was autumn when I visited the city just added to the loveliness of this spot, with the trees just turning.
