This is a regular series of blogs about photographs of the same place taken years apart. I quite like those Then and Now comparison photographs that you see in books or on the Twitter or Facebook. The first of the posts in this series was of a council building in Manchester.
I always thought I should give then and now photographs a go. However what I have started to notice is that I have been doing Then and Now photographs unintentionally over the years and have been taking photographs of the same thing or place from the same view or perspective years apart.
On a recent visit to York in April 2026, walking the city walls I took this photograph of York Minster with an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Checking back through some older photographs I had taken back in June 2024 I had taken this similar shot with an iPhone 13.
