Going

The York Wheel is now being dismantled and moved to another town. All the pods have been removed and the structure is being dismantled.

In just a few days it will have completely gone. Talks are going on though about the possibility of a new one being erected in North Street Gardens.

Roof Adornment - DEFRA - Peaseholme Green

Adding a roof adornment helps to make an otherwise plain government building a little more interesting. DEFRA moved to this building which replaced an old run down factory owned by engineering firm Adams Hydraulics some years ago.

St Saviours Church Tower - St Saviourgate

This church is now used as an archaeological visitor centre called DIG . You can just see some autumn colour on the tree on the right behind the tower strikingly lit by the low autumn sun.

Lantern Tower - All Saints - Pavement

This is a very striking lantern tower on All Saints church at the junction of Pavement and Coppergate. Yes, I am still playing with my new toy!

Tom Adams Cats - Kings Square

I did a post some time ago on Kings Square in which I included a photo of one of the buildings which has a model cat on the ridge line of the roof. Having treated myself to a long phthalic looking telephoto last week I took a close up view of the cat.

The netting over the cat is to stop pigeons perching and leaving messages on the sculpture which also includes a sculpted pigeon to give the appearance of the cat stalking a pigeon.
