Why we love York - 10 photos of our favourite things in this city

DO you have a favourite place, building, or view of York?

Perhaps our photos today will chime with you?

From the iconic Holgate Windmill in the sunshine to the early morning sky behind Clifford's Tower, our city is a treat for the eyes.

Today's photos are from our Camera Club group on Facebook and have been posted as part of a monthly competition.

We asked members to post photos of their favourite things this year. From the scores of entries, we have narrowed down the best ten - but have to pick a winner.

The £50 prize goes to Carys Tew for her stunning shot of the windmill in Holgate.

Competition time

The theme for August is York Icons. Members can post photos of places, people, things - whatever they think is worthy of the tag 'iconic' in our city.

Each photo should include the hashtag #YorkIcons and also have a short caption about the photo and why it has been selected.

Good luck - the deadline is the end of August and winners will be announced in September, along with a new competition theme.
