I recall I felt strange, before reading, why the name of the city is the place where we bathe ourselves. As you might know I’m partial to reflecting images, I was attracted by the 3rd and 14th images most. I like the distorted reflection on the handmade glasses. The color tone of the architectures made of limestone made me feel relaxed. The sculptures on the walls are intriguing, especially I’m interested in the four on the ladder (#21,22,23,24) but I have no idea about the Biblical meaning of them. Thank you for this wonderful photo tour.<br /><br />Yoko<br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-27975565417683335302017-07-09T20:35:37.482+01:002017-07-09T20:35:37.482+01:00Hope all is well with you now Susan - I have been ...Hope all is well with you now Susan - I have been thinking about you.<br />Yes, sadly these things happen to us all over time.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-16750358690561041902017-07-09T20:31:40.906+01:002017-07-09T20:31:40.906+01:00Thanks Orvokki - your comments are always so gener...Thanks Orvokki - your comments are always so generous.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-64577565911014394522017-07-09T19:38:00.981+01:002017-07-09T19:38:00.981+01:00I enjoyed looking at your photographs of Bath.
