There’s something about the way the sunlight was catching St Stephen’s Church today, with the stormy clouds behind it, that was just yelling at me to take a photo or two.
Sunlit Church
Happy Christmas!
What better photo for Christmas Day than the December 25th store?
Unfortunately December 25th closed down on Saturday December 23rd – I wonder how long it’ll take before another shop moves in, but I don’t think they’d be able to outdo the eye catching look of December 25th’s windows!
Festive Scenes
If only the ‘sound and shot’ setting on my phone would let me transfer the sound to the computer, you could hear the carol singers in fine voice outside the Abbey.
Moving up through Bath, the Corridor’s lights are really effective, illuminating the way towards Union Street.
Glowing Buildings
There’s something about Bath stone which makes for some great photographs when the sun hits the buildings.
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.
Skies over Bath
It’s not always the Bath Stone buildings which make for scenic photos, although if you time it right, you get a fantastic golden glow on the stone – sometimes the clouds can make or break a photo, whether they’re above the buildings, or reflected in the windows.
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.
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.
