Biker, a photo from Somerset, England

Photographer's Note

On my last trip, I stayed mainly in London but went for a day trip to Bath. I wanted to see the famous Crescent and the Roman Baths for many years. Bath is a charming little town, with many lovely places to visit. Interesting that it is on TWO places on Unesco Heritage list.
" The City of Bath is of Outstanding Universal Value for the following cultural attributes: The Roman remains, especially the Temple of Sulis Minerva and the baths complex (based around the hot springs at the heart of the Roman town of Aquae Sulis, which have remained at the heart of the City’s development ever since) are amongst the most famous and important Roman remains north of the Alps, and marked the beginning of Bath’s history as a spa town.

The Georgian city reflects the ambitions of John Wood Senior (1704-1754), Ralph Allen (1693-1764) and Richard “Beau” Nash (1674-1761) to make Bath into one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with architecture and landscape combined harmoniously for the enjoyment of the spa town’s cure takers.(https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/428/)
Also, it is on the collective list of European Spas.

I saw there this funny biker who died from laughing.
It's better to die laughing than to be dead serious.

Hello Malgo,
You mention it was a day trip, so I suppose you didn't join the Bizarre Bath comedy walk, arranged most evenings during summer at only 15 Pounds. The photo is funny enough to me and quite catchy. Maybe even better is the fine background of Gothic architecture.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Malgo,
I guess that advertised walk reveals many funny and bizarre facts of this city. Amazing artwork with very nice looking classic building background.

Hi Malgo,

The presence of the persons is animating the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the special bicycle. The light is giving good colors rendering. Have a nice day.

eu caminhei por uma tarde inteira em bath, havia uma fila imensa nos banhos, saí para ver outras coisas e não perder tempo na fila e, de repente, a fila havia se extinguido. estava hospedado em bristol e a usei como base para conhecer as cidades ao redor. perdi um bom tempo no trem pois uma árvore havia caído sobre a linha.
esses ´pequenos atrativos que encontramos nas cidades sempre alegram e atraem os visitantes.

um abraço

Hello Malgo,
I really want to visit Bath some day as well! A very nice photo with this truly bizarre bike rider in the foreground and the typically English architecture in the background. Well spotted.

Ciao Malgo,here too they make a lot of money thanks to the work of Italians in the past ... ehhe..Roman memories of great importance and well preserved that everyone knows, while this biker is definitely for the first time on TE, perfect capture to have some fun even if it's still a tough issue for you to tackle with your recent bereavement. Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Hi Malgo
A good humorous one from Bath where my great grandfather and his father (both professional photographers would you believe!) came from. Well supported by the WS.
cheers

Hi Malgo.
A curious and original photograph, in which I do not like the idea of the skeleton on the bicycle, which is original with its two rear wheels, the line of Gothic windows is wonderful.
Excellent POV, with very good lighting, color and sharpness to enjoy the details.
Very good work. I like it
Enjoy a happy Sunday.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello Malgo,
That's what happens when you try to ride bicycles that have three wheels, let this be a lesson to you. I like the red objects balancing each other out in the frame.
