A Week of Sun - Four




This picture of the Roman baths reminds me of my visit to Bath—one of the rainiest days I have ever known!  And I'd just left my umbrella on the train.

It was rainy too when we were excavating at Binchester, the Roman fort near Durham that featured well-preserved baths.

The effect of the reflections, angle of the sun and algae made for an interesting photograph on this particular day.  Pam Brophy, geograph.org.uk
