WE are used to seeing Clifford's Tower with daffodils, with and without scaffolding - but it's rare to see a photograph of it at night with no tourists or visitors in sight.

These incredible images of the York landmark are just two in a collection of shots taken by award-winning Yorkshire photographer Dave Zdanowicz in the early hours of Tuesday morning, while most of us were sleeping.

Dave, of Dave Z Photography, took advantage of the empty streets of York to take a batch of photos of the city at night.

Besides his Clifford's Tower photos, he captured images of York Minster, Bootham Bar and Shambles.
