pesu - Dec, 12 2008 05:12am Basia, now I like this pic very much! frenchfrog - Dec, 12 2008 11:12am Well captured!, Bath is very photogenic!. I love the reflectio of the bridge on the water aufgehts - Dec, 13 2008 07:12am I have not seen this view of Bath before, thank you! Is that a small waterfall toward the bottom of the picture? krisek - Dec, 13 2008 09:12am Jill, technically this is not a waterfall. It is a weir, designed to keep water levels even upstream and regulate the flow of the river. And it looks spectacular. The bridge does not look very nice from the other side, by the way. This one of only four bridges in the world with shops along the entire span of the bridge... basia - Dec, 13 2008 09:12am Jill, the Krys already to You answered, I will write what I found in the internet on the subject the bridge and his builders: Pulteney approached the brothers Robert and James Adam with his new town in mind, but Robert Adam then became involved in the design of the bridge. In his hands the simple construction envisaged by Pulteney became an elegant structure lined with shops. Adam had visited both Florence and Venice, where he would have seen the Ponte Vecchio and the Ponte di Rialto. But Adam's design more closely followed Andrea Palladio's rejected design for the Rialto. pesu - Dec, 13 2008 09:12am Interesting details - thanks, Basia and Krys! aufgehts - Dec, 13 2008 12:12pm Thanks Basia and Krys!
