The site of this church dates to 675 AD. It sits in the center of Bath England a few steps from the Roman Bath ruins. Also not far from Sally Lunn's famous buns.

These guys kept swapping position. In this race they were way out on their own. It was like a different race. The rest of the guys realised this and sat up a bit so as to have their own race :)
What a fantastic evening. These races are just fantastic, there's so much going on and to make it better you can take photos as they just keep going around and around and around. I love it, totally hooked and can't wait for next wek.
Rather fantasticaly I met up with Dan and so had a bit of a catch up too.
Dan was able to hold himself back and just post one image, a rather excellent panning image. I couldn't help myself as I loved the races and how the positions changed. so I trimmed mine down to just 50 :D There's some panning in there too and some work well and some less sharp.
Anyway, I had a brilliant evening and will be doing it next week again!
Joshua's first bath. He looks a little tentative about it, but once he'd been in for a little bit, he had very strong opinions that he did *not* like it.
Gay Street. Photographer hoping that the small brakeless one's going to deploy a parachute soon (He did).
Bath is a city in the county of Somerset, South West England, known for the curative Roman-built baths that still exist there.
The city became a spa with the Latin name Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sulis") c. AD 60 when the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon although oral tradition suggests that the 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 the water from the springs, and Bath became popular as a spa town during the Georgian era, leaving a heritage of Georgian architecture crafted from Bath stone, including the Royal Crescent, Circus, Pump Room and Assembly Rooms where Beau Nash presided over the city's social life from 1705 until his death in 1761. Many of the streets and squares were laid out by John Wood, the Elder, and in the 18th century the city became fashionable and the population grew. Jane Austen lived in Bath in the early 19th century. Further building was undertaken in the 19th century and following the Bath Blitz in World War II.
