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.
Continuing the look around the Victoria Baths in Manchester, they are planning to bring the Turkish Baths back into use as a health spa and are campaigning to raise the money required.

The Roman Baths are a well-preserved Roman sacred site in the English city of Bath. The site includes the remains of the Temple of Aquae Sulis, the Roman baths fed by the sacred hot spring, and a well-presented museum of artifacts found at the site.
The fundamental part of the Roman Baths is the sacred spring. Hot water at a temperature of 460°C rises here at the rate of 1,170,000 liters (240,000 gallons) every day and has been doing so for thousands of years. To the ancients, this remarkable phenomenon could only be the work of the gods.
The first shrine at the springs in Bath was built by the Celts, and dedicated to the goddess Sulis. After the Roman invasion, Sulis was identified with the Roman goddess Minerva, but the name Sulis continued to be used. This led to the town's ancient Roman name of Aquae Sulis ("waters of Sulis").
During the Roman occupation of Britain, increasingly grand temples and bathing complexes were built. The bath complex in Bath was founded in 75 AD. The healing powers of the goddess and the mineral-rich water from the spring attracted visitors from across the Roman Empire.
After the Roman withdrawal the baths fell into disrepair and were eventually lost due to silting up. When bathing again became fashionable in England, the site was reopened. The magnificent Georgian building now standing was erected at the end of the 18th century.
The ancient Roman Baths were rediscovered and excavated in the late 18th century. As well as being an important archaeological find, they have from that time to the present been one of the city's main attractions. www.sacred-destinations.com/england/bath-roman-baths
The Roman Baths at Bath, We got there early to beat the crowds of tourists but then we were followed by school parties. But really happy with the shots I got there, this one is an HDR as it was very contrasty with deep shadows around the pool and bright light on the upper walls.
The Roman Baths are below the modern street level. There are four main features: the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House and the Museum holding finds from Roman Bath. Visitors can see the Baths and Museum but cannot enter the water.

Another part of the Victoria Baths in Manchester is what was the Superintendent's flat. This was spread over two floors and currently contains this alternative bath to the public ones below.
As part of phase 2 of the restoration the plan is to convert the Superintendent's flat back into residential accommodation.

Headed to SF Ocean Beach area earlier this evening and watched the sunset at Sutro Baths. It was crowded and difficult to find parking. As soon as we parked our car, the sun was almost down. I got to this spot just in time before the sun disappeared below the horizon. Everyone in the crowds cheered and clapped their hands afterward. I think we all need this during the difficult time.

The Blue Hour sets in over Sutro Baths. It was surprisingly busy at Sutro Baths for a Monday night. I used two long exposures and blended portions together to mask out the moving people.
I am very busy with my delayed work so slow in commenting, I am sorry. I will pcomment as soon as possible in my breaks little by little
I went down last weekend to check out the Sutro Baths in San Francisco. The place was beautiful and calm. If only there weren't so many people for sunset. It seemed like every photographer in the city decided to come down and shoot that weekend. I counted at least five different model shoots going on. It was pretty fun to watch those guys and gals at work.
