This was shot down on the Old Bristol Docks. It is a favourite haunt of mine. Next time you are over here, get in touch and we can shoot a few frames together. Bath is just down the road as well. Stephen
Yes, we are getting plenty of rain over here in Dunedin, NZ. We are currenly on flood alert with rivers breaking their banks.
Where I took the waterfall image the annual rainfall is around 8000mm.
More than simply an historic house and garden, this splendid medieval Palace has been the home of the Bishops of Bath and Wells for 800 years.
There are 14 acres of gardens including the springs from which the city takes its name.
Visitors can also see the Bishop's private Chapel, ruined Great Hall and the Gatehouse with portcullis and drawbridge beside which the famous mute swans ring a bell for food.

Stephen, the spires are very tall indeed. Including them fully would have been more "faithful", but would have provided a much smaller and more distant picture, without the profusion and complexity which I wanted to show. Besides, the main spire just wasn't there before the restoration/embellishment of the late XIXth century, when Viollet le Duc believed in not only restoring, but also "improving"...
Nice composition and sharpness to this image. Might make a great B&W conversion as well. Printed large, this would be impressive. I personally would use the Clone Tool in Photoshop to remove tiny bit of spire showing 1/4 way down the frame on the left hand side. This might spoil the print. Stephen
and share it.
