The Circus, Bath

Bath is one of England's most elegant city. A spa town full of Georgian terraces, crescents and squares arranged round spacious landscaped parks. The Circus was John Wood the elder’s masterpiece. It was a design of startling originality. Drawing his inspiration from antique models as far apart as the Coliseum and Stonehenge, he created a bold architectural statement all his own.

This image was taken on a dull wet day in summer, a day when normal people put their cameras away and look for a good coffee or book shop. However the wet weather has some advantages as its really saturated the colours of the sandstone in the buildings. I then cropped tightly into the buildings to avoid any sky creeping into the picture and spoiling the illusion that it wasn't gloriously sunny.
