Built in 1896, it is located near the Cliff House, Seal Rocks, and Sutro Heights Park. The facility burned down in June 1966 and is now in ruins within the Golden Gate National Recreation Areaand the Sutro Historic District.

Shibu Onsen village, Yudanaka, Yamanouchi,
Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
There are nine public hot baths in Shibu, with water from different hot springs and with different medical effects.
An onsen is a Japanese hot spring; the term also extends to cover the bathing facilities and traditional inns situated around a hot spring. As a volcanically active country, Japan has thousands of onsens scattered throughout all of its major islands. Onsens by definition use naturally hot water from geothermally heated springs.
Onsens come in many types and shapes, including outdoor and indoor baths. The hot baths may be either publicly run by a municipality or privately, often as part of a hotel, ryokan, or bed and breakfast (minshuku).

Arrived a little earlier than first light knowing that there were to be no clouds in the sky. My initial intentions was to blend two shots. One for the pool area and the other for the stars in the sky. Due to the lights behind me, the exposure for the pool and surrounds needed to be reasonably short to avoid over exposing. The results gave me a dead black sky, which i love. I may still blend the stars in at a later date, but i really like the contrast this shot has.
Cheers,

The "thermae" were the city's public baths. There were relatively few private baths and these were limited to the most well-to-do families, given that the latter were the only ones who could afford to build rooms suited to the purpose.
The thermal bath buildings were divided into two sections: one reserved for women and one reserved for men. Each of these contained a series of rooms with different functions:
1) apodyterium or changing room
2) frigidarium or cold bath room
3) tepidarium or tepid bath room
4) calidarium or hot bath room.
The thermal baths included latrines and, in the most developed type, a pool and gymnasium. They were often furnished with open spaces and gardens.
The system of heating the rooms - which was fairly ingenious -worked by running heated water through the cavities in the wall.
The Thermae were not only buildings used for a function of public utility, but also played a very important social role in that they provided an important place for people to meet.

also known as Home Of The Water Fairies
“These curious circular stone cavities on Lucy Brook originally were known as the Home of the Water Fairies; tradition says evil water sprites inhabited the ledges, tormenting the Sokokis Indians until a mountain god answered the Indians’ prayers and swept the sprites away in a flood. But sometime before 1859 a Miss Hubbard of Boston, a guest at the old Mount Washington House in North Conway, rechristened them Diana’s Baths, presumably to evoke images of the Roman nature goddess. The pools are also called Lucy’s Baths.”

The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. The house is a well-preserved Roman site for public bathing.
The Roman Baths themselves 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. The buildings above street level date from the 19th century (Wikipedia).

Seems that I wasn't the only person making the most of a great start to the day yesterday.....
I ventured to Newcastle Ocean Baths and the surrounding rock platforms trying to grab something worthy of flickr!
A few other photographers arrive before sunrise drawn by the same desire....
Added to the recipe - 3 guys fishing and a cloudy sky - made for a great scene.
** Must view Large on Black!! **
Thanks for looking......

Victoria Baths, Manchester, England - Vintage Home Show.
I am trying to sell some 1960s furniture at the moment, so was hoping to meet dealers that are interested in buying it.
Earlier in the week I sold some of my parents' stuff to someone who had a stall at the Show and she'd pretty much sold most of it already by the time I arrived.
Good on her, that's what I say - she'd paid for a stall, stood there for hours and lugged all the stuff from her car into the building so I don't mind her making a profit. I was told in no uncertain terms by Mrs K "NOT" to buy anything to bring home though lol.
Victoria Baths is amazing and a good place for the show. I've not been for a while.

I was actually pretty traumatised when I came across the most expensive thing there by far. We used to have the very same three-piece suite but our young Labrador dog ate it one lunchtime whilst we were out of the house.
It wasn't valuable when we bought it - it was second hand and bought for a pittance. But the upshot was the same - the dog ate it. Not completely, of course, he would have had terrible stomach ache. But just enough to ruin it.
:-( He was a little cutie and the kids liked him...

The above image was taken on Sunday 1st June 2014 at Victoria Baths, Manchester.
This was my first time at Victoria Baths and during this visit I decided to shoot exclusively using a very wide angle lens (a 12mm Sigma) and also use my usual HDR style.

Visited the Sutro Baths and had to take a photo from both sides of it! This is taken facing westward. The building in the background is the Cliff House, which offers another viewpoint of the Baths. This tourist spot has a surprising amount of San Francisco history behind it - look it up sometime!
