]]>York Minster is probably the most photographed building in York. Maybe even in Yorkshire. So I was keen to get a creative and original perspective on it. I contrasted the dark blue sky after sunset, with the artificial lighting to produce a stand-out image. The ultra-wide-angle also helps emphasises the imposing nature of the building.

]]>This intersection is the heart of Gastown, and was too interesting a scene to resist.
I took these shots around an hour or so after sunset, so there's still some colour in the sky.
Gastown is a characterful area of down town Vancouver which preserves it's wild west heritage. It has cobbled streets, stylised street lamps, and many other period features.

This obviously a very busy place, so I was pleased to get up close, and take a simple, uncluttered view of this fantastic triangular façade.
