Visited Mereweather Ocean Baths for the first time ever today, and there wasn't much of a sunrise at all. It's been about 6 months since I've been out, if not longer.

The Imperial Baths (Kaiserthermen) are a large Roman bath complex in the city of Trier. The facility was projected to become one of the grandest and most impressive baths in the Roman Empire. The construction started shortly before AD 300 and can be attributed to the emperor Constantius Chlorus (293-306), who moved his residence to Trier. In 316, work came to a sudden end and the baths were never finished. The emperors Gratian and Valentinian II used them as barracks for their life guards. The bath complex consists of two parts: the real baths (thermae) and the sports grounds located outside the enclosed buildings (palaestra). Today, the ruins of the bathing facility and the underground service tunnels can be visited.

Spring Hill Baths were designed by Thomas Kirk and built from 1886 to 1913 by William M Park. It is also known as Arthur Street City Baths and Municipal Baths at Spring Hill.
One of the principal reasons for establishing the Arthur Street (now Torrington Street) bath was its location above the Spring Hollow (Water Street) drain, installed in 1884, the waste water from the baths providing a daily cleanse. River water from Petrie Bight was pumped to a small reservoir at the top end of Albert Street, then gravity fed down Spring Hill to the Hollow, where it was stored in holding tanks (now boarded over) at the far end of the baths. Each evening the pool was drained and every morning the water was replenished in a process lasting several hours. This system of flushing the Spring Hill drain was employed for three-quarters of a century.
Not until 1914 did the city council install a salt-water supply scheme to which the baths were linked. As the Brisbane River grew more polluted, chemicals were added to the pool water, and finally a filtration system was installed in 1961.
The August 2009 Flickrmeet was to the old Edwardian Swimming Baths on Moseley Road.

The Baths of Caracalla were the second largest Roman public baths, after the Baths of Diocletian, although the Caracalla are in a better state of preservation than the Diocletian.
The baths were built around AD 212, during the reigns of emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla. They were in use until the 530s and then fell into ruin with the fall of the Roman Empire.
apparently this is an original feature of the baths.
it was all the rage to have mock tile clad fiberglass cows at the turn of the last century. this is one of only a few remaining and to be honest, it's looking a bit tatty nowadays.

The Forum baths in Pompeii: recently reopened after significant restoration work, which didn't stop some of the tour parties walking on the original mosaic floors (sigh).

Roman Baths... sweet place since I took tons of Latin I really enjoyed going to place I had read about a ton in high school.
This is a replica of the Roman system for heating the floors in the baths -- heated stones like these would be stacked under the floor.

A depressing scene as the baths at Marketgate were demolished in 1994. At least the handsome red sandstone frontage of the building was preserved for the flats behind it.
Marble and gold details of the baths. This isn't as exotic as you might think at first - it was reserved for the Sultan and his mother.
The Baths of Diocletian (Latin: Thermae Diocletiani, Italian: Terme di Diocleziano) were public baths in ancient Rome, in what is now Italy. Named after emperor Diocletian and built from 298 AD to 306 AD, they were the largest of the imperial baths. The project was originally commissioned by Maximian upon his return to Rome in the autumn of 298 and was continued after his and Diocletian's abdication under Constantius, father of Constantine
The Baths, Virgin Gorda BVI. I used it as a reference for an exercise in the Landscape Sketching in Watercolor, lead by Marilynn Brandenburger and Carol Parks at the John C. Campbell Folk School. For more sketches see my blog: Art is the journey
