Bath Bridge
Pulteney Bridge
Bath, England, U.K.
03-25-25
A historic bridge built in 1774 in the town of Bath, England. There are shops on both sides of the bridge, which when you're crossing it, just looks as if it's a street with shops on either side.
I'm a bit disappointed in myself that I only photographed this corner of the bridge. When I crossed the River Avon into the heart of old downtown Bath, I concentrated on Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths building and didn't continue along the other side of the bridge for some shots.
I'd spent about 45 minutes walking to the old city from my B&B following a 2-1/2 hour drive from my previous stay at the farm. It was 2:00pm when I took this photo and I spent the next few hours taking lots more around town, then treated myself to a nice dinner in a Bath pub (including a non alcoholic ale selection) so I filled every available minute.
People always ask me if I'll "go back" after I return from visiting someplace. I never can answer in the affirmative, because who knows? I still have lots of places to visit that I've never seen, and it's going to take me years to be able to afford, both in money and time, so see all of them.
Other "corners" of this bridge would have been excellent to photograph, but this photo is pretty good. I should just be less disappointed in what I didn't do and enjoy the satisfaction that I was able to accomplish what I did and get the (hundreds of) photos I did. Sigh.
