The row of trees, reflected in the flood water, usually mark the bank along the River Ouse. The ground between the trees and Tower Street is usually occupied by a park. Beyond the Skeldergate Bridge the flood waters of the Ouse have joined those of the Fosse.

Clifford’s Tower, one of a group of buildings and green spaces that form an area known as York Castle, affords excellent views of York and I should think it has done since the reign of King Henry III. Clifford’s Tower, currently maintained and garrisoned by the staff of English Heritage, seemed to be a popular spot to stand and try and absorb the enormity of the situation.

Although it’s not my cup of tea, you can’t help but notice all the “Ghost Tours” around York, but I can’t say I’ve ever noticed “The Ghost Bus Tour”. I first noticed it on Tower Street and it was still parked  there when I reached the top of Clifford’s Tower, so I took the opportunity to photograph it from above as well.

I wonder if spotting this black iconic 1960’s Routemaster will become a regular feature of my visits to York?
