Blue Pool baths at Bermagui, Far South Coast, NSW. A popular place to swim but not today as raining and a big sea.
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.
This image was taken during the recent large swell at Newcastle baths. I got a little wet taking this one, though I think the perspective was worth it. Have a lovely long weekend.
Big waves overfill Newcastle Ocean Baths.

Once the home to "Arizona's largest wildlife collection", this 1940's era motel was once a popular spot for baseball teams like the New York Giants, who started going to the baths in 1947. Athletes such as Wilie Mays and Ty Cobb were among the big names in sports who once went to this motel for the hot, 'healing' waters. The property was sold to potential developers in August, 2017 but still remains vacant and plans are uncertain.

Buckhorn Baths – an early resort opened in 1939 featuring mineral baths. The resort became popular with New York Giants baseball players who did spring training in the area. The resort is now closed and there is an effort to save the property.

12th century interpretation of Classical baths (as conserved through Arab culture if I understand this well). This is the Apodyterium, the central area, that functioned as a relaxation room, and also as locker room.

Took Phoebe back to Oxford then drove onto Bath. Abigail, my eldest, is just finishing her dissertation and will be moving out of her digs so the removal company of mummy and daddy required to pick up lots of her stuff. Lovely lunch in Bath and a trip around the Bath Roman Baths!

For many people a trip to Iceland isn’t complete without a trip to the Blue Lagoon. That thermally heated pool is a major tourist attraction and is located close to the main airport at Keflavik. As a result I am told it is very busy at the best of times. It is also a location that features regularly on travel programmes. Rather than follow the crowds and dig deeply into our pockets we chose to give the Blue Lagoon a miss and try the strangely named Mývatn Nature Baths. As can be seen here they were pleasantly quiet but still offered the strange experience of sitting in 40 degree water whilst ice crystals built up on your eye brows and in your hair. It was quite the experience.
The ancient city of Aphrodisias, once the capital of the province of Lydia, is located near the village of Geyre in the district of Karacasu . The history of the city can be traced back to the early bronze age and there is even clear evidence of a chalcolithic culture prior to the 3rd millennium B.C. The use of the name Aphrodisias began after the 3rd century B.C., in the Hellenistic period.
The wealth and cultural and political importance of the city is clearly attested by the size and magnificence of the buildings of which it is composed.The name Aphrodisias is derived from Aphrodite, the goddess of nature, beauty, love and plenty, and was one of the most famous cult centres of the goddess.
The baths of Hadrian constructed in the 2nd century during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian. This complex consists of a large central hall, probably the caldarium or hot room, surrounded. by four large rooms, the tepidarium, sýýdatorium, apoditerium and frigidarium (warm room, sweating room, dressing room and cold room respectively).
It is a most imposing building with all the requisite facilities, such as labyrinthine underground service corridors, water channels and furnaces.
