This American Robin was mid bath when Ripley decided to point. It always amazes me how keenly aware birds are about every sound and movement - even while in the bath. I did get some nice splashy bath shots, but liked the background on this one with the colors and the way the light was hitting him.
The end to a brilliant stay in Bath for Abbey's graduation. We will be back to this beautiful city very soon.
Bath Abbey has a prehistory going back to the 7th century, but today's elegant appearance in high-gothic style (perpendicular) stems from the 16th century with extensive restoration work done in the 1860s. The exquisitely carved pews in the choir section of the church are also part of the Victorian restoration. So were, incidentally, the pews in the nave. However, a few years ago the diocese decided to sell these and replace them with removable wooden chairs. A decision that proved to be controversial.

A treat today when a New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae ) visited the bird bath. A fairly common bird in the area but usually found around coastline shrubs and trees. Although it's only a few hundred metres from the beach, this is the first time I've seen one on my property.

When the Roman Baths in Bath (Somerset) were restored in the 19th century, they were re-designed in a royal way - with statues of Roman emperors overlooking the area, beginning with Julius Caesar (who had been to Britain, but a century before the building of the Baths and the Temple of Minerva Sulis was even begun). In Roman times, the thermal baths of Aquae Sulis (later called Bath) were never royal or even elitist. We are dealing here with a projection of Victorian identity back into antiquity, just like Arthur Evans when excavating Knossos (Crete) discovered without much evidence a "royal palace" and even a "throne". What you see in this picture is pure 19th century, with the exception of course of Bath Abbey and some other buildings in the background. To see the Roman artefacts, we have to go below street level.
Went to Howick this morning sky looked quite promising never really made the colour I wish for but was happy with what I got.
I Hope everyone has a fab Christmas and new year.
The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, commonly known as Bath Abbey, is a parish church of the Church of England and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, it was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country. The medieval abbey church served as a sometime cathedral of a bishop. After long contention between churchmen in Bath and Wells the seat of the Diocese of Bath and Wells was later consolidated at Wells Cathedral. The Benedictine community was dissolved in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The church architecture is cruciform in plan and can seat up to 1,200 patrons.An active place of worship, it also hosts civic ceremonies, concerts and lectures. There is a heritage museum in the cellars.

The Circus, Bath.
From Wikipedia:
The Circus is a historic ring of large townhouses in the city of Bath, Somerset, England, forming a circle with three entrances. Designed by architect John Wood, the Elder, it was built between 1754 and 1768, and is regarded as a pre-eminent example of Georgian architecture. "Circus" (Latin) means a ring, oval or circle in English. The construction has been designated as a Grade I listed building.
The Circus is divided into three segments of equal length, with a lawn in the centre. Each segment faces one of the three entrances, ensuring a classical façade is always presented straight ahead.
