Odd Shots from York

Well I dont think you will find a more odder shot than this one! York always has such interesting people and street events. Yesterday we came across this chap! His whole body & clothing had been painted with an emulsion of some kind, capturing the movement and action of his whols person! Amazing!
Normally there is an entrance fee into York Minster but as it was Easter Sunday it was free, so we made the most of it!
The ceilings are quite awesome!
Mirrors are placed around the building so the very highest of detailed architecture can be captured!
This was one of my favourites as no supportive structures were visible, so it appeared to be hanging in mid-air! So appropriate for Easter Sunday! Happy Easter. For more odd shots visit Katney.

Visited York Minster when my eldest studied English litteratur and Drama at U i Hull.

The purple man reminds me of my posts on similar creatures found on the Victoria Embankment in London. I wonder if they itch.

Your painted man is already a great Odd Shot, but to have the bonus of this gorgeous church! Wow. And that cross really looks amazing!

Happy Easter!

You are lucky not to be covered with emulsion paint I think, looking at the photograph.
Yes, York is lovely - and I guess it was a lovely day there too - it certainly was in The Dales.
I love the minster - and think that the Archbishop has done such a lot to promote it since he has been there. Did you see him?

This is so funny. Maybe he would like to paint the red carpet here for your visit too.

How interesting that you posted about this today. Just 30 minutes ago I was looking at their website, where they have a fabulous virtual tour. What an amazing place York Minster is. And I hope to get to see it in person soon!

That is a very odd shot and a wonderful set of photographs!

I like the suspended cross. St. James Cathedral in Seattle has something similar. It makes me wonder who and how.

It's hard to tell if your purple man is a performance artist or a sculpture.

Oh I love York ~ the Minster and the Shambles. How I long to pay another visit and wander through its ancient lanes.

Thank you for sharing your visit Denise.
