It could be a painting.
I love the rose window from the inside.

It's astonishing that so much of the medieval glass has survived.

I'm especially in love with how the towers works as a giant lantern for the nave. You see so many towers and spires on churches that serve little purpose for the building itself (except to promote it to its surroundings by sheer size or by virtue of holding a set of bells), but at York Minster the great tower serves a purpose integral to the interior of the building.

Gosh, it's all cleaned up! It was grimy and dour when I saw it in 1994 or so.
