I believe that you can buy lens filters to produce a starburst effect but just pointing the camera at the sun through trees seems to work just as well. This was taken on the Westwood Beverley.

Warehouse Living
A Victorian riverside warehouse has been converted into apartments. I'm not sure I would like to live here considering that it is next door to the North Bridge (below) a busy connection between west and east Hull.

Big yellow crane
There has been shipbuilding on the Hull for centuries. The Bounty, of mutiny fame, was built by a Hull firm. This old crane and a couple of silting up docks are all that now remain of that industry.

Stained Glass
Leif Hagen asked for a peek inside Beverley Minster but as I don't have any shots from there this will have to do. Last year I posted some shots from inside the local church. Here are some more. If I've got my iconography right the top one is Mary and Jesus; the lower one is Elizabeth and John the Baptist, but I may well be wrong about this.

Yellow and blue
This is a bridge across an old dry dock or shipyard entrance on the banks of the River Hull. The dry dock is now thoroughly silted up as you can see below.

Snowdrop 2
The Blejan Eyhre under repair at Bridlington in May last year. The name translates from the Cornish as Snowdrop. Unfortunately in August the ship caught fire and sank 17 miles east of Flamborough Head; both crew members were saved.
