On my way home from the vicarage this morning I stopped to photograph this vista of the northern slopes of Bath.
The field usually contains sheep: but on this occasion they seemed to be curiously & rather disturbingly absent.
Oh dear...

ENGLAND IN SPRING
On my way home from the vicarage this morning I stopped to photograph this vista of the northern slopes of Bath. The field usually contains sheep: but on this occasion they seemed to be curiously & rather disturbingly absent. Oh dear...

Superb landscape and the clouds are very pretty.
Chris Phillips: Thank you kindly
And the journey continues, Bath was one of my favourite places. Beautiful image Chris.
Chris Phillips: Just down the road from where I live Aussie
I hope to visit this area 2009
Chris Phillips: Please let me know when you do Aussie: I would be delighted to show you around
Bath is one of those places I would definitely go back to see again if I ever get the chance. What a lovely city!
We know where all the sheep are, of course, Chris. Don't tell me you have forgotten??!!
Chris Phillips: You'll get the chance Ginnie - and guess who will show you around
Is that your house just in front of the Bath Cathedral Chris?
richard
Chris Phillips: I'm afraid not Richard
Hope you didn`t have lamb on Sunday! Lovely capture of this view. (:o)
Chris Phillips: Thank you Rosalyn
This is a good choice of sky, Tiff.
Chris Phillips: It was right at the back Chad - took ages to get out of the shed
They had all wandered off blindly, having had their eyes removed to repair that damned road of you know who's. Great view of Bath Sir Tiff and the light makes the buildings sparkle
Chris Phillips: Thank you kindly Bill - you will notice a complete absence of twiddleage here
What a superb wiew Of Bath Chris. The lighting is exceptional!
Chris Phillips: This was very early in the morning Richard
Sometimes my not so good English knowledge can make looking at picture more fun...I first thought the deer was the reason for why there was no sheep around...but I can't see no deer.....oh deer!
I like the light and sky here. Never been to Bath but my wife says it is a very nice place - she still talks about a "funny walk - tour - through Bath" that was an experience of a lifetime....
Chris Phillips: I think Chad has stolen the sheep Aksel. If you ever come to Bath we will show you around
Has Chad arrived yet, he is bringing his friend with him, I hope they will help you with this beautiful sky to roll and put it back where you found it, the beautiful houses go to the left in the shed, oh and the sheep are just around the corner in the same spot where the wishing well is, hope you can find it some time today when Chad has gone.
Great view here Chris, it is always a pleasure to see these kind of pictures, I just keep seeing so many new things, thanks for sharing.
Chris Phillips: Glad you like the picture Astrid. I am meeting Chad & his American friend Alan at Bath Abbey later today and we are going to show him the sights of Bath. Later I will roll the sky up and go looking for those sheep!
I'm feeling very homesick for Bath right now - although I don't live there, it is my second home. This is a view of northern Bath that I'm not familiar with. I'm trying to work out where Mike's flat could be!

Chris Phillips: This was taken on the A36 heading out of Bath towards Bathampton. The church is in Larkhall & the land rising on the left goes to Beacon Hill - where I lived for my first 27 years. I think Chad said Mike's flat is in Lansdown Crescent: if so that is half a mile off to the left of this shot
Lovely view and great shot. Beautiful sky and landscape. To bad about the sheep, I think they would have been a great addition to this picture. Still a great composition.
Chris Phillips: Well I guess you can't have everything! Thanks John
super shot
Chris Phillips: Why - thank you!
maybe they saw you getting the camera out Chris
Chris Phillips: Thank you Tim
I've spent so many happy times in Bath, and love the place to pieces (except for the lack of parking spaces!)
It's actually holiday season for the sheep, who all fly by EasyJet to the Costa's for a cheap break. Ba-aah--argain!
Chris Phillips: Er...that is a remote possibility FLOOG
Lovely view Chris, LOL @ Paul
Chris Phillips: Thank you Scotia: glad you like it
beautiful light - who needs sheep?
Chris Phillips: Mr Dufftown needs sheep to cut his lawn Paul
