Leeds' skyline

I found some pictures of Leeds' skyline which I thought deserved to be published on my blog. I was browsing my Picasa library when I found them. I must admit I had forgotten them. Let's hope you won't.

Actually most of these shots have been taken during my stay in Leeds though only a couple are from Leeds' skyline the other ones still being from West Yorkshire. But I'll specify which town the photos actually come from.

This photo is actually of Leeds' skyline. It is one of the Town Hall's owl. I particularly like the golden colour of the statue that contrasts against the deep blue sky. It was one of the few sunny days I experienced when I lived in the north of England!

Here is York's skyline. Like Canterbury, York is a medieval town as you can see on this shot. 

These three photos are photographs of the York Cathedral. I particularly like the first one. I like the way the blue sky is reflected in the rose window. On the second one the blue sky is amazingly blue and the architecture of the cathedral is sharpened by the contrast. On the third shot, I chose to take it in black and white to accentuate and to define the moldings of the cathedral.

This photo represents the "castle" of York. I've written castle with quotation marks because for me this "turret" should not be considered as a castle. It's probably my "Frenchness" and my knowledge of real castles like Versailles or Chambord  that prevents me from considering this small yet interesting piece of architecture like a real castle.

This photo was taken in Liverpool. I like the way the sun touches the building on the background of the shot. The photo is tinted by the familiar colour of a sunset.
