Cardiff, Wales, U.K.

Looking up, an opulent chandelier hangs from the high ceiling inside the summer smoking room at the top of Cardiff Castle’s clock tower. Along the walls closer to floor level, of which a small portion is visible in this image, the story of the mythical gods in the 12 zodiac signs is depicted in paintings and sculptures.

The other day, I posted a photo shot while looking down at the Roman Baths from the top of Bath Abbey. This image shows the other perspective — standing on the original Roman ground floor level at the Roman Baths, looking up at Bath Abbey’s clock tower.
