Perhaps you are thinking, “If that is a photo of a circus, where are the clowns?” It isn’t that kind of circus. This “circus” is a marvelous example of Georgian architecture in Bath, England. At a high point in the city a circle of fancy apartments wrap around a small, central park, broken only few narrow entrances to the inner area. It is hard (panorama photographs anyone?) to make a photograph of the entire structure without taking to the air, so I decided to focus on a small section.
Another Bath Georgian structural feature echoes this curving shape. it is not far away and known as the “Royal Crescent. In some ways it seems like an even more imposing bit or architecture, despite not completing a full curule. It is tall and very large, and seems even more so because it is fronted by a large area of open space.
