Mývatn Nature Baths was quite nice. It is smaller than its southern cousin, Blue Lagoon; it did not seem quite as luxurious, it didn’t have Blue Lagoon's silica mud, and it had a lot of dead midges in the water (not surprising), but it was still nice and definitely worth a visit.
My photos from the water itself aren't that great, unfortunately, as the battery on my waterproof camera died within days of my arrival in Iceland and I hadn't packed its charger, so I had to rely on the phone in its waterproof pouch. The outside gloom didn't help, either.

The Baths of Neptune have this fabulous mosaic, which my son demonstrated to me can be seen from outer space. I had myself convinced that this mosaic was at a different location in Ostia Antica! He has much patience! Never-the-less it is a very large mosaic which served as the bottom of a very large pool. Climbing the stairs up to a platform over the pool allows one to see the whole mosaic from above, but maybe not remember all the details or location!!
These are the restored Turkish baths that are just magnificent inside. The light comes through the dome and is magical.
Manchester
In the design and construction of the Baths, built in 1906, a great deal of money was expended, Manchester having at that time one of the world's wealthiest municipal coffers. The façade has multi-coloured brickwork and terracotta decoration, the main interior public spaces are clad in glazed tiles from floor to ceiling and most of the many windows have decorative stained glass.

Taken this morning at Merewether Baths NSW.
A small group of keen (or silly) Newcastle Sundance members met here for a sunrise shoot.
We sheltered until the conditions eased enough to brave the drizzle, and attempt to salvage something from the effort taken to get up at 4am to be here!
Originally gave this the B&W conversion - but reworked it and thought the sepia looked better; hope you enjoy it!
P.S. Note the blurred swimmer centre right of image - I could easily have cloned him out, but thought this added further interest and context to the baths!
Had a fantastic evening over at the Victoria Baths for the IMBC this year.
FIrst time I've been to IMBC and also to the Baths, which is a really cool building dripping in history for nerdy engineering sorts.
Only regret was that I only bought a single ticket this year, next year we're going many many times.
Thermes de Constantine (Constantine's Baths), Arles, France. Built in the 4th century, only a portion of these Roman baths remain.
The "PERF Squad" practising at Portobello swimming pool. Filmed by Michael Pinsky for his Big Things on the Beach commission.
Built in 1896 and burned down in 1966, there is still a lot to see of the old complex.

The large (67 X67 meters) Baths of Neptune at Ostia Antica, Italy were completed in 139 A.D. Modern excavation of the Baths of Neptune at Ostia Antica was begun by the Italian archaeologist Rodolfo Lanciani in 1888 and continued into the early 20th century. In the foreground of the photograph is Room 4 of the baths which connects directly back into the Frigidarium (cold bath). The black & white mosaic floor tiles throughout the chambers and rooms of the baths depict various sea creatures. Room 4 includes the figure of the god Neptune riding in a chariot drawn by four hippocampi which gave the baths their name.
