Sometimes the evening sun is thrown back like polished gold from all the windows on the other side of the canal. I am still wondering how that private house (to the right of Sham Castle, top left) got planning permission.
It has just dawned on me. Dido Harding (who is in charge of the track and trace fiasco) used to be the head of Talk Talk - voted the most inefficient phone company, year after year. I thought the name was familiar.
Front room (I think you knew that...). The canal is the other side of the river. The central terrace of houses in the photo have gardens that back onto the canal. Ken Loach lives in one of them.
I just pointed and clicked.. then adjusted the angle and crop, then adjusted the saturation and brightness etc. Just think what a good camera would have done.
A pretend castle, an empty facade, what it was like to be rich and foolish;) I see that Bath has three follys, Beckford Tower and Brown's Folly. Lovely photo of Bath, do miss it. its elegance takes a lot of beating.
Surely with all the different shades of Not-Quite White, Sort-Of Cream and Is-It-Beige paint on the market now, it could be camouflaged better. Farrow and Ball might even have Bath Sandstone in their range.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph Tom. What is the bird?
ReplyDeleteA gull. We have thousands of the bastards.
DeleteYes Tom, beautiful picture. Is it the view from your kitchen? I didn't know you had a canal, I thought it was a river.

DeleteSuch a well composed photograph Tom. Beautiful views of Bath, gull, moon and the gold of the sun .... just beautiful. XXXX

DeleteOh, what a beautiful view you have! What are the bronze-coloured trees throughout? Has autumn arrived already?
ReplyDeleteIt is an old photo!

ReplyDeleteSham Castle was built partly to enhance the view from Ralph Allen's town house and party to advertise the Bath stone from his quarry.

ReplyDeleteIt is mostly glass. Bath is a limestone, btw.
