Bath-house in the Abramtsevo estate.
The roots of Abramtsevo go far into the past: for the first time the village of Obramkovo was mentioned in the documents of the 16th century, but as an estate it has been known since the beginning of the 18th century.
It is no coincidence that the bathhouse-teremok (1877–1878) designed by I.P. Ropeta is considered one of the most "bizarre" buildings on the estate: a low wooden building with a mezzanine has very unusual proportions - small windows and a door, a massive porch and a high wide roof decorated with sawn carvings. The Aksakovs used the tower as a bathhouse, while the Mamontovs eventually converted it into a guest house. Now there is an exposition of the Abramtsevo carpentry workshop. But the bathhouse is worth visiting not only for the exhibition of products by E. D. Polenova, but also for the sake of the interior of the bathhouse - this is an excellent example of the "Russian style".

The town of Bath in Somerset has its name from the Roman Baths. From 43 ad, the Romans living in Britannia began to build bathhouses around the hot springs found here.
Most of these buildings are outstandingly well preserved and can be visited today. In the middle of downtown Bath, the old baths are a good bit below the street level, bypassing magnificent 19th-century buildings.
Bath Somerset is a city in the ceremonial county of Somerset, England, known for its Roman-built baths. Bath is in the valley of the River Avon, 97 miles west of London and 11 miles south-east of Bristol. The city became a World Heritage Site in 1987.
The city became a spa with the Latin name Aquæ Sulis waters AD 60 when the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon, although hot springs were known even before then. Bath Abbey was founded in the 7th century and became a religious centre; the building was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries. In the 17th century, claims were made for the curative properties of water.

Typical Georgian period houses in Bath.
I was, at the time, staying at the pub you can see at the end of the road - getting a chance to visit the town, famous from the Austen novels which I grew up with, when my husband was there at a conference.

Vista de la ciutat anglèsa de Bath des de Alexandra Park, al sud.
La vista és força espectacular, però deu ni do, la pujadeta...
========================
The city of Bath seen from Alexandra Park. The viewpoint is quite nice, but the path that leads to it is quite steep.
Claverton Manor, near Bath, is an 1820 country house and home to the American Museum in a commanding position overlooking the Limpley Stoke Valley. The gardens are a subtle blend of both the remnants of the old manorial pleasure grounds and parkland landscape.
There is a re-creation of George Washington's Garden at Mount Vernon, and an arboretum with a collection of American trees.

We had an unfortunate experience earlier this week, travelling to Bath and staying in a hotel without taking a single picture. The moment we'd had dinner and retired for the night a team of roadworkers with their specialist vehicles arrived outside our bedroom window and proceeded to dig up the entire road outside the hotel and then re-lay it, finishing some time towards 5am. We didn't get a moment's sleep as the noise was horrendous. Apparently they were doing the rest of the road the following two nights. We promptly negotiated the bill and headed home. So here's an unused shot of the famous Pulteney Bridge in Bath from a previous visit.
The world-famous bridge was completed by 1774 and connected the city with the newly built Georgian town of Bathwick. Designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style, the bridge is exceptional in having shops built across its full span on both sides. It has been designated as a Grade I listed-building.
Like so much of the Georgian architecture in Bath, the facade is beautifully designed but the rear of the building is a bit of a mess, with individual property owners left to complete their part of the building however they chose. It is colloquially known as "Queen Anne fronts and Mary-Anne backs".

Since 757 AD, three different churches have occupied the site of today’s Abbey: first, there was an Anglo-Saxon Abbey Church, pulled down by the Norman conquerors of England soon after 1066. Then, a massive Norman cathedral was begun about 1090 but was larger than the monastery could afford to maintain and by the end of the 15th century was in ruins. Finally, the present Abbey church was founded in 1499, the last of the great medieval churches of England

This Mallard duck was having a vigourous bath in a small patch of sunshine on the canal. I took quite a few shots. Some had not enough spray and were not dynamic enough, the rest had rather too much and hid the duck. This was the best of the latter group.
