Newcastle Ocean Baths with a big swell running and high tides...waves where there shouldn't be waves
The best mosaics in Ostia are probably those of the Baths of Neptune, near the theatre. However, they were mostly under restoration when we went, so I could only snap this shot from above.
At Roman Baths, a street preformer showed his skills and proved that the knives that he was about to juggle are very sharp by having a volunteer hold a cucumber.
The Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy were Roman public baths, or thermae, built in Rome between AD 212 and 216, during the reign of the Emperor Caracalla. The extensive ruins of the baths have become a popular tourist attraction. The bath complex covered approximately 13 hectares (33 ac). The bath building was 228 meters (750 ft) long, 116 meters (380 ft) wide and 38.5 meters (125 ft) estimated height, and could hold an estimated 1,600 bathers. The Caracalla bath complex of buildings was more a leisure centre than just a series of baths. The "baths" were the second to have a public library within the complex. Like other public libraries in Rome, there were two separate and equal sized rooms or buildings; one for Greek language texts and one for Latin language texts.

My intention was to photograph the bridge and the weir as the main focal point, but I have to say I was really taken by the flowers on the river bank and the big fleshy leafs, still got the bridge and weir in though!
The Old Blackrock Baths, I used to 'paddle' here as a child they've been closed for years, its a very Old Ireland vs New Ireland story. Developers want to put Apartments/Hotel on the site, it should just be reopened as it was, I loved it!
