You should try Prior Park, they have a fantastic Palladian bridge and close by you can get a shot of the City.

Night shots of the streets are enhanced now the Christmas Lights were lit this evening.

The Christmas market is being constructed right now.

Night street scenes are often worth shooting even in slow speed.

City gets very busy from now till the new year. A wander through the lanes are grsat sources of things happening.

Bottom line is that Bath is very photograaphed but it is fun to look for the unusual.

Very esrly in the morning is a good time to shoot some frames.

I like to capture visiting steam engines arriving and leaving Bath Spa ststion.

Finally early morning at the old Green Park Railway Station is worth a vidit. This is the old LMS station a short walk from the town centre. The main building - a georgian style frontsge - is still in good order and leads to the covered ex platform area. Yhe Bath Spa station frontsge is under develolment right now and for anyone eho remembers the old raised car park fronting Platform 2 will find it hss been dug away and a ne ground lrvel piazza is being devrloped.

Good luck enjoy.
