His second. He's so calm with this, I think we're going to have to start getting medieval on him or something.
37412 'Driver John Elliot' crosses Dolemeads Viaduct on the approach to Bath Spa Station with 2V87, the 1655 Weymouth to Bristol Temple Meads Regional Railways service on 6 July, 1996. Private operator Wales and West (part of Prism Rail) would take over these services in October that year.
On this trip to the creek we found these fine birds enjoying bath time. I am wondering is the White Egret the mother/Father watching over the Children bathing? Just a thought.

Omizuya (holy water bath), today can be found in all shrines in Japan. Visitors here purify their hands and mouth before entering the shrine. In the old days, however, temple visitors washed their hands and mouth with natural water from the river and the spring. The omizuya of the Toshogu shrine was built for the purpose of purifying the visitors. The basin is 1.2 meters wide, 2.6 meters deep and 1 meter high. The basin was consecrated in 1618 by Nabeshima Katsushige, feudal lord of Kyushu-Saga. The omizuya has remained completely unchanged except for the repair of a few structural elements.
The omizuya introduced a few important architectural techniques. One of them is the use of stone pillars. The other is the water supply system. An aqueduct had been constructed that ran from a water source near the takino-o-jinja to the water basin of Omizuya. A siphon mechanism was also added. Today the water is supplied with a modern metal pipe system.
Sculptures of the flying dragon have been placed under the roof of the omizuya. This one has wings and is treated like the spiritual beast that controls water. A part was cut in the west corner of the roof to place an amulet there
The Church of St Michael's Without is Grade II*-listed and was designed in 1835 by George Phillips Manners (1789 –1866), Bath's City Architect from 1823 to 1862. It is the fourth church to have stood on this spot, just outside the former city walls, where it dominates Bath's skyline. The present building replaced a much smaller classical church of 1741-43 by John Harvey.
According to British Listed Buildings, "St Michael's is a notable example of a pre-Pugin Gothic Revival church, erected before the preoccupation with archaeological correctness took hold of ecclesiastical architects. It possesses great townscape value externally, by dint of its scale, its siting, its lofty proportions, its decorative consistency and its overall Romantic conception. The interior is of very high quality and survives in fine condition."
The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Bath, commonly known as Bath Abbey, is an Anglican parish church and a former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, Bath Abbey 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. ww.muttiah.com
A flying visit to Bath.
I so want to spend longer in this lovely city, as I only had a couple of hours there as myself and my friend had to go to a place called Castle Cary, my friend asked me if I wanted to go for the run with him, and to be honest, it is a long drive from where we live to be doing it on your own (about an 8 hour round trip), so my mate Steve also said he was gonna stop off at Bath and have a look around. So glad I went.
This is the old Roman baths, in the square around Bath Abbey.
Time for the weekly bath!
We watched a group of elephants taking a bath near Talamati Bushcamp (Kruger Wildtuin). It really was fun to watch them playing in -and enjoying- the water!
I will upload some other more spectacular action shots of this group later.
Enjoy the weekend!
