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.

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!
