This is for my friend, Foozi , who loves Bath and its environs.

Bath....
The small Roman city of Bath in SW England is a real charmer. The city was designed by the Romans, and still has hot baths dating from Roman times. The building for the hot baths recently was refurbished at great expense.

The architecture in the small city is exquisite.There are many churches with spires and steeples. The city is renown for Georgian architecture and buckets of charm. The city is cris- crossed with canals and bridges. Houseboats are very common along the waterways.

In the summer, longboats visit the area and deal with the many locks. I have spent time watching them negotiate these locks . It can be a bit of a complicated procedure.

I took a canal cruise once and it was such fun to see all the quaint architecture from the water.

Real estate in Bath is very pricey—London prices are not uncommon.

Hello Joni
Those Romans could build bridges that last thousands of years while ours can last one hundred years.(LOL)

This photo is what I call bucolic. Eventhough Bath has become a large city, such a photo makes it look like a small place to live. I love those old structures and Romans bridges are particularly interesting because of the material they used and the shape they have. I also love their reflection on the surface of the water, here, the Avon I presume. Lovely vegetal framing and nice background with the steeple in the background.
Bravo

hello Joni

Although I would also be greedy to see the church in full but your title and the bridge with its attractive reflection version makes a fine feature here. Especially the arch is in shadow and becomes a ring.

I like very much your vertical composition for this one.

tfs, bill

Hi dear friend,
very interesting bound between the straight and the curve lines.
Great angle of shot and wonderful reflections.
Well done!
Have a lovely day.

Hello Joni,
Wow, this is really beautiful. Very well captured and indeed captivating. And thanks a lot for mentioning my name, coz i really like Bath and its environs.
The reflection is perfect and the colours are soft and subtle. The lighting is well managed and exploited at impressive angle. The framing by the tree branch make this shot really outstanding.
There are so many interesting and excellent elements in this great composition.
If a piece of drawing you can paint it from your thought, but in photography it is very much different.
You really make it beautiful in such a great shot.Hope i can make a revisit to Bath one day.

Regards and really appreciate your noble thought.

Regards,
Foozi
