For those of you who tire of exhautively detailed pothole reports, we have an attractive picture of Bathwick in the evening.

Living halfway up Bathwick Hill, I have the perfect combination of a good view but without too far to walk when I head into town. Thus, every morning on my way to work I have the city spread before me. Previously it has been lit with newly risen sunlight, but recently I find myself at work before the sun has cleared Claverton Down.

This morning was particularly picturesque, however, with the mist hanging in the bowl of the city. In the foreground St Mary’s tower was set against the vapour which hid Camden and lower Lansdown, while in the background Lansdown and St Stephens were above the cloud level.

I understand that today was a fine Autumn day, but working 9-6 I never actually saw the sun. Walking home it had recently set, resulting in the pink and purple clouds pictured. Clearly the scene photographed was not that of walking up the hill, but arriving home I brought out my camera to look back and illustrate this evening’s article.

If you visited this website hoping for street furniture surveys, but instead found the dull half of a romantic novel, normal service will be resumed shortly.
