York in November

Taken at 3pm GMT.
At noon yesterday, our shadows stretched almost out of sight down the street in the weak sunshine.  The sun at that time was 16 degrees above the horizon.  At the solstice, the sun at noon will be less than 12 degrees above the horizon.  This makes for very beautiful light, rare light, light imbued with atmosphere. Today, walking around York was like walking around inside a late painting by Turner.
