One of just four in the World

One of just four in the World

I’ve been to London this week, so have not posted in a few days, or visited any blogs, so I’ll get around a few this weekend.

The structure to the right of this photo is Pulteney Bridge in Bath, Somerset. This is a Grade 1 listed building so will never knowingly be demolished or renovated and was built way back in 1773.

The bridge is one of only four bridges in the world with shops across the full span on both sides of the street. I have visited two of the others being in Florence (Ponte Vecchio) and Venice (Rialto). Not sure what the forth one is (I’ll have to look it up).

This was taken early in the morning which is why the water is so still. I’d recommend Bath as a romantic weekend stay as there is something quite magical about the city and it’s architecture.

    Hi Marc. Another really well processed image here. I really like the way you have extracted lots of detail from the buildings and of course the reflection finishes it off.

    I agree with your comments about Bath. It is a wonderfully photogenic city. I really must get there with my camera. No excuses for me, it’s just down the road!

    Bath is so special and it’s buildings ooze history

  3. Amazing shot Marc. I love the beautiful details and the stillness of the water.

    Gorgeous shot. We stopped in Bath for just a day en route to Stonehenge, but you’re right it’s a worthy trip. Beautiful town and an easy jaunt from London. Beautiful scene here.

    Love the warm tones and the soft reflection Marc!

  9. Bath is such a wonderful place. This composition and your excellent processing should encourage a few more to visit, especially from this side of the pond as there is nothing here that even comes close.

    Awesome shot. I’m most curious about that little pool on the left in the water. What is that?

  11. Thanks everyone, much appreciated as always. Aaron, the pool is actually a small layered waterfall that segregates the river. I’ll post a shot of it soon.
