Just a quick photo today – the sky looked particularly good
Moody Skies
Sunset over Bath
Views of Bath
It’s always enjoyable to walk along the London Road at this time of year – ok, there’s a lot of traffic, but the sunset tends to make it worthwhile.
Everyone was stopping to take a photo of the Abbey, as the moon lined up perfectly to look like part of the structure.
And just to prove it doesn’t need to be daylight to get a photo of Bath, this is overlooking the city centre from Camden.
Stunning Sunsets
We’ve had some stunning sunsets over Bath lately, and today was no exception!
A Walk through Bath
Cold, but stunning light
You can definitely feel the breeze is coming from the east today, but I will admit that the light made it worthwhile getting out for a walk.
There’s nothing particularly fancy about this wall, but I like the way the trees cast their shadows on it.
St Stephen’s Church has been photographed loads of times, but I’ve never seen it from this angle before (from Somerset Lane). 
Moving on to Lansdown Crescent, and you can almost feel the glow on the Bath stone… if only it really felt as warm as it looked!
Stopping to look over the wall at the Hope House development, there was a truly stunning sunset – the sun looked red, although my camera insisted it really was yellow.
Glowing Bath Stone
Ok, so the first photograph isn’t anything to do with glowing stone, but the sky does have a Bath stone colour to it. This was the view from Cleveland Bridge, looking towards the city.
The best light, however, was from Pulteney Bridge looking towards the Holburne Museum. It looked like someone had put some bright spotlights on the museum, with the rest of the road in the shadow.
Trekking up to Ensleigh
It’s a long walk up Lansdown Road, but it kept us warm on a chilly day as we took a walk past the building works on the old MOD site.
I hadn’t realised you could get such a good view of Beckford’s Tower at this time of year – the lack of leaves on the trees is a real advantage.
One benefit of being at the top of Lansdown, is the opportunity for stunning sunsets… as long as you’re lucky enough to catch a point where there aren’t any vehicles driving past when you take the photo!
Moonlight and sunset
After the cloudy and wet weather of the last couple of days, it made a pleasant change to see clear skies and the moon while I was walking along Westgate Street today.
The sunlight was at the perfect height to allow the Guildhall to glow….
….but the best light was in St. John’s Road, where the sunset looked suitably picturesque even if it was challenging to time the photos so the car headlights weren’t in the way!
After the true orangey red glow of the sunset, there was still a stripey glow to the sky across the city. Sometimes the best sunsets can be found slightly higher than the city centre.
Sunsets
There were some fantastic views heading towards Bath this afternoon. Snow Hill provided the first one, with a perfectly timed crow flying from the tree as I took the photo.
The sunlight gave a beautiful silhouetted feel to the London Road, although the glare of the sun would make driving a little challenging!
Moving on to Northumberland Place, I think I confused a lot of tourists who wondered what I was taking a photo of. I don’t think they’d spotted the moon, perfectly placed above Pug & Puffin.
