"Past The Pavement" I don't know why, but I just really like pictures that lead your eye from the front of the picture to the back whether it be a straight line or a winding path like so. This picture makes you wonder what's beyond the path, whether it be more pavement or something more.

"Up, Up, and Away..."
This is the York Minster. The outside architecture was amazing although it constantly has to be restored from all of the weathering that is breaking it down, but this is no surprise since it was built in the 16th century.

"3.2.1."
I just don't understand this: 3 forks, 2 knives, and 1 spoon. Realistically a person only needs one of each, but for this 'classy' occasion in the York Minster, a 3:2:1 ratio was obviously a necessity.

"March On..."This man deserves a spot in my blog because he is walking the streets of York alone, yet still oozing of self confidence. He knows who he is and what he beliefs in and I support that. He probably doesn't even notice the snickering to his right or the discrete pointing from all directions, not that these actions could bring him down in the slightest.

"Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird"
Pigeons, like sheep, are everywhere in this country, and we definitely saw a lot of them in York. This picture is posted in dedication to the pigeon I shot one time with a bee-bee gun in a silo...good times.

"So Far Removed"
This picture was taken at a park in York while aimlessly wandering the streets until it was time for our departure. I really liked the silhouette of the trees and how the colors of the sky were fading into each other.

"The Lies That Tangle"
I took this picture with my back against the tree and the camera pointed straight up, but it actually looks like I was up in the tree pointed the camera down. I obviously messed around with the colors a bit making the tree look somewhat evil. To me the tree represents lies and how they tangle one down, trapping them more and more with every new lie told.

"Dashes To Dashes"I enhanced the white in this photo to emphasize the dashed lines on the road and the vehicle driving in between them. I also like how the arrow in the road sign points to the vehicle. Here's another one of my leading the eye pictures.

"Time Will Tell"I really like how one whole side of the clock is shadowed and the other is completely bright with the clock at the center of the picture. Like this trip or any other occurrences in life, only time will tell how they will end and where you will be left.

"Footprints"

This was also taken inside the York Minster during our tour. Places like this amaze me to think of all of the people throughout the ages who have stood there before me and walked through the Minster corridors inside. It's like everywhere you go there are invisible footprints left behind from all of the centuries that have passed.
