Boxing Day Sunrise Timelapse from Malton across the Yorkshire Wolds – Noir

My Boxing Day 2025 timelapse – this time in black and white.

A time lapse of Boxing Day 2025’s sunrise over Malton and the Yorkshire Wolds.

Owston’s Warehouse taken during last weekend’s snow. I’d not realised that it was listed – nor that Malton Buildings Group had done a deep dive into it’s history.

Ethel Walker’s Robin Hood’s Bay in Winter.It seems to be on permanent exhibition at York Art Gallery and, I must note, looks better in person.

Alfred Stieglitz’s Winter on Fifth Avenue. This was, apparently, one of the first times that driving snow had been photographed.

*Probably. Apparently there’s a little confusion around dates.

Paul Nash’s Winter Sea. Painted between 1925 and 1937.

Let’s start this Christmas week with a copy of Pieter Bruegel’s Winter Landscape with a Bird Trap.

Merry Winter Solstice 2025! And to mark it off, here’s a lovely woodcut by Hasui Kawase.

A somewhat moody piece for these dark December nights – Atkinson Grimshaw‘s View of Heath Street by Night.

Right now, a foot or so of snow – and the deep quiet that it would bring with it – feel tremendously attractive.
