Two weeks ago I went to London to meet old friends, and they offered me to visit Bath, a very interesting and photogenic city, declared UNESCO World Heritage.

I only stayed there a few hours, but I took many shots that I want to share with you.

(Feedback is very welcome :thumb )

1. Pulteney Bridge: this bridge reminded me in some way the Ponte Vecchio in Florence.

2. The Circus, a circular space with interesting emblems

3. The Royal Crescent, a simple but magnificent building.

4. The Bath Abbey, with a beautiful facade and an outstanding gothic fan vaulting over the nave.

    Jorge, this is a wonderful series.thumb.gif The shots of Bath Abbey are spectacular - especially the fan ceiling. I love the color as well as your use of BW on some of the shots.

    The composition of the Royal Crescent building pano shot is perfect.

    And the juxtaposition of the Romans vs Punkies - clap.gifclap

    Wow, these are excellent. I spent the day there last summer in the pouring rain. My camera barely left my bag. Thanks for showing me the sights.

    These are great- the architecture really stands out and you got some human elements in there too. I enjoyed looking through them. I especial like the reflection in the water. Always nice when you can catch a calm day like that.
