double exposure, in bath
This is a double exposure of the same Georgian building on a Bath hillside, the ground floor and first floor are transposed.
We were on a walking tour with one of the "Mayor of Bath's Honorary Guides" when my camera started acting up. Flummoxed, it took me about ten minutes to figure out I'd inadvertently changed the settings on my camera.......this double exposure was a product of my snafu! I didn't take a camera bag with me on this trip (we packed light as possible for five, itinerant weeks). Whenever I'd need to cache my camera, I'd jam it into my small fanny-pack. Command dials and switches were prone to accidental readjustments ;-)
After the walking tour, later in town, by pure coincidence I'd make the acquaintance of our guide. He was on his way home. He'd recognized me in the crowded square and sought me out, explaining how concerned he was, that he might not have given me the time I needed to get the pictures I wanted. Whoa!, I thought. What a thoughtful person he was, to care one iota whether or not dumb old me had enough time to make pictures of this or that! I explained to him I'd done my best to "fall in" with each stage of the walking tour, making the pictures I wanted, dashing to catch up with the group before the commencement of his next narrative, all the while hoping I wasn't proving to be a distraction.
We enjoyed our time in interesting Bath and I'll never forget that walk and my chance encounter at the end of the day, with our guide. These particular tours are volunteer-driven, the guides don't accept payment or tips, they ostensibly do it purely out of their love for sharing local history. Generally-speaking, I'm not particularly enthusiastic about guided tours but this one was fun.
