One of a series of panoramic pieces illustrating Bath in the great freeze of January 2010. This is a late evening view from the northern slopes of Lower Camden across to the silhouetted spire of St John the Evangelist Catholic church (c1861-3) with the outlines of Widcombe hills and behind them the the trees on the high ridge of Beechen Cliff immortalised by Jane Austen.

The (somewhat controversial) new Bus Station in Bath. The day I took this, the trains were buses too - and left half an hour before the time the hourly train was supposed to leave...
:-(
- so I missed the bus home and had plenty of time to take pics and wonder why First GW can charge the same price for an inferior service whenever it feels like it....
I actually prefer this addition to Bath to the pseudo 18th cent pastiche Bath usually goes in for. Original Bath architecture is great, albeit biased (they largely razed working-class parts of old Bath AIUI and just kept the posh bits), modern Bath is the sort of pastiche Prince Charles likes....
Under the Tree Of Heaven (ailanthus altissima) in Bath's Southcot Burial Ground. See this 360ºx180º equirectangular panorama interactively from the inside here.
There's also a stereographic projection of it here.

Here is one for the curious. At the bottom of the stairs from platform one on the left is a blocked off door. Behind it is this long forgotten passenger lift, that used to take passengers up from the Widcombe entrance to the platform for Bristol. It is a beautiful paneled Edwardian construction and includes an old luggage trolley. All this will disappear soon as the station is upgraded. You can still glimpse it through the window from the car park.
Taken with my lovely, lovely Supersampler - 4 lenses take 4 shots onto 1 negative over 2 seconds. Completely plastic, no control whatsoever and no viewfinder - you just wave it about and hope for the best!

I've started walking into work again. Forrest has got itchy feet. This is the view I am greeted crossing the fields from Widcombe Hill to Smallcombe.
