Description
This was taken today when a few RR members met each other in the lovely City if Bath so this is for BibbyBear and her Hubby Darren, and Peewee05..
Thanks guys for the great day we certainly had the weather for it!! I think we were quite impressed with the most expensive terraced houses in the UK!! We even saw a valet run out to open a car door, but it turns out that number 15-16 was a posh Hotel!!
The Royal Crescent is a notable residential road of 30 houses, laid out in a crescent, in the city of Bath, United Kingdom. It was designed by the architect John Wood the Younger and built between 1767 and 1774. It is amongst the greatest examples of Georgian architecture to be found in the United Kingdom and is a grade I listed building...
Together with his father John Wood, the Elder, John Wood the Younger was interested in occult and masonic symbolism; perhaps their creation of largest scale was their joint design of the Royal Crescent and the nearby Circus (originally called "The King's Circus"), which from the air can be observed to be a giant circle and crescent, symbolising the soleil-lune, the sun and moon.

And all done before the use of concrete. This is the Wife of Bath's Tale to match that of Bathsheeba.
Looks like the architects got this one spot on unlike the fiasco with the renovated baths :-). Great shot of this classic architecture!
Such a famous landmark you have captured Danny. I love the sweep of terraced houses. A wonderful capture and so glad you had a good day out. Eileen xx

A magnificent building and national monument , whose lines and curves are beautifully enhanced here. Thank you for sharing, and a special extra compliment for the excellent piece of information you' ve added beneath your work. Have a good day, Daniel :-)
Excellent usage of the lines in the composition.
Is this the one where the fronts are all the same but the first owners designed the back of the house themselves? Wonderful shot and great sky too!
Indeed it looks graet in all it's respects.. !!
