'All Saints Church, York'
I took this photo *mentally* a couple of weeks ago on a clear blue lunchtime walk through York. Then I had the strange experience of seeing my mental photo on Maggie of Merseyside's photoblog ... it's a church in Liverpool rather than York but it has the same peek-through tower. Today the sky was blue again so I took my camera out with me and got the shot I'd been carrying around in my head. In looking on the web to check the name of the church I found out that the octagonal tower was made open-sided so a lantern could be hung there to help travellers find their way to the city (and God, I suppose) at night .
