Bath, UK.
The Bath city is a very beautiful city in the UK. About 3 hours away from London via train. The Roman Empire settled here about 200 years ago, and the architectural beauty of the Roman construction is a treat to the eye.
In the photo - The Roman Baths is one of the most complete ancient sites in the world, much of it unchanged for 2000 years. Inside this “Temple” is the hot springs discovered by the Romans.
Me and two of my friends went inside and felt the warm water from the springs. It was very pleasant especially in the very cold weather there. There was a long line outside.
We went around the city and admired the Roman constructions all over. Absolute beauty and fun!
Its time to bath, this child had no other option other than to bath using anythin available.He was in a group of people from DRC who were cheated by truck drivers and were brought to Kenya on promises of better lives.
Ever present, the pigeons patrol for scraps of food discarded by tourists. Taken near the abbey, Bath.
Taken with an f2.8 180mm Nikon lens which I had acquired just an hour earlier. I was passing one of my favourite shops, London Camera Exchange, by Bath Abbey when I spotted a mint-condition allegedly-used lens in the window for £150 below the best new price. I went straight in and nabbed it. It was spotless and the box, lens case and documentation were with it also (Greys of Westminster please note, your f2 135mm lens was also mint but minus the bits that should have come with it). What baffles me is why people buy expensive lenses like this and then don't use them. Anyway, my gain and I'll be turning it to astro-photography shortly.
So once again Oliver and Felicity made the journey in to watch me run the Bath haf.
I wonder what I'll say when Oliver asks "why do you do run around in a big circle for so long daddy?"
Oliver and Felicity were there to see me across the line and it felt magical.
Really I wanted a photo of Oliver in some shorts or something but I kind of ran out of energy so this is Oliver looking at the medal saying "why do I want this daddy, where's the chocolate they give you!"
