More photos from York

Thsi is inside the NAtional Railway Museum. Lots of shiny locomotives to oggle at. It was funny to see them from ground level, as we normally see them from platform level. So they seemed extra huge.
This is a view of the city wall from the Richard III Museum
I saw this old painted sign from the wall - "Nightly Bile Beans Keep you Healthy, Bright-eyed and slim". Really? Sounds good to me!! ;-)
This is York Minster, a medieval cathedral of gigantic proportions. It is visually stunning inside and out, with lots of gargoyles leering at you.
Best street name ever.
This is inside the Castle Museum. I am very fond of reconstructions, because then at least you can see how objects were actually used, rather than just seeing them in glass cases.
I really loved the juxtaposition of the modern sign and the medieval city wall behind it.
Sunset over York.
