Looking directly down to a pavement and a utility access cover. The cement paving slabs have slightly different textures and colours (and discolouration). The dark metal plate has a pattern of small crosses, each composed of four triangles. At the center, a light, bright metal badge has been attached with rivets, covering the manufacturer's name. This new label has debossed lettering that reads "FAB." Dorchester Street, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A monochrome photograph of the interior of a narrow bus station with floor-to-ceiling windows. On the left, the glass doors to the parking bays have large numerals applied to their centres. The afternoon sun casts shadows of the numbers 4, 3, and 2 onto the tiled floor. On the right, three people await transportation: a standing man looks into the lens, and two people (one sitting on the floor) stare into handheld devices.

Inside a former railway station with a vaulted glass roof supported by a series of semi-circular wrought-iron arches. The space is dominated by a wooden floor (with numerous metal strips attached to it at random angles). At the back, there are a few car parking spaces, and along the sides are market stalls and food outlets. Green Park Station (Bath, UK) was designed by John Holloway Sanders and opened in 1870. Passenger trains ceased in 1966 and the last goods train ran in 1971. It has become an active retail and events space (more so at weekends, rather than the Wednesday afternoon that this photo was taken on). Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A high contrast monotone photograph of a wooden floor. The large wood panels have numerous thin metal strips attached to them at apparently random angles. I think that these are slider strips to protect the wood from damage when heavy items are moved around it for the weekly markets held at this venue. Green Park Station, Bath, UK.

Looking down to a wooden floor. The floor has numerous thin metal strips attached to an array of angles. I presume that these are slider strips to protect the wood from damage when heavy items are moved around for the weekly markets held at this venue. At the top of the image are reflections of sunlit walls and doors. At the bottom of the image, a rectangular panel of plywood has yellow/black hazard tape applied to it in an X formation.

Looking down to a floor where stained hardwood meets decking boards. At the centre of the image, a slightly-raised rectangular panel of plywood has been screwed down and two pieces of yellow/black hazard tape have been applied diagonally from corner to corner, forming an X. The floor also features a thin metal strip attached to it at a 55˚ angle and, on the left, residue from old stickers and/or tape. Green Park Station, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

Two strings of bright red, decorative paper lanterns are strung across a street, presumably to celebrate the Chinese new year. The lines are anchored to the first-storey window ledge of a mid-terrace townhouse. The building is built on a slope, opens directly to a footpath and faces an iron railing. The rendered facade is a magnolia colour and the doors and window frames have been painted laurel green, and the windows (one per floor) reduce in size and complexity as they rise up the building (20 panes, 12 panes, 6 panes).

Six short, colourful stools in a row. The seats are covered in imitation leather, each in its own flat colour. In sequence, they are yellow, red, purple, blue, red, and purple. All are bolted to a grey tiled floor, and there is a long white bench to the left, and booth-style seating on the right. The yellow stool, closest to the lens, has cracks in its covering.

Close-up view of the façade of the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana in Rome, showing repeating rows of large, evenly spaced arches carved into pale stone. The geometric pattern of arches creates strong lines and shadows, emphasizing the building’s monumental, symmetrical design.

A Georgian townhouse in a terrace on a pedestrian street. The three storey building (plus attic and basement) dates from 1770. The ground floor is painted white up to a platband, above which is exposed Bath oolitic limestone. The first floor has an unusual balcony featuring a swept canopy with trellised supports.

Mounted on a brick wall and under an arch is wooden noticeboard. This panel is made from eight pieces of wood joined side by side at a 60˚ angle and then framed. The board has five rows of small L-shaped hooks and from the top three lines, metal numerals hang from them. The top line reads 15 and 447. 388 is on the second line. And the third line, which is below a long brass divider, has 443 and 2. Hymn numbers for a past or upcoming service or ceremony. Grundtvigs Kirke⁩, ⁨Copenhagen, ⁨Denmark⁩.

A large iron support, underpinning railway tracks, has been painted a warm shade of yellow. A layer of paint in a lighter tone has been applied to cover some graffiti tags. On top of this is a more recent piece of street art in blue paint. The word "boo" in all-caps with an exclamation mark, and a simple ghost character in outline with large, long eyes and a small mouth. Finally, there is a broken letter U. Or maybe it's a smiley face. Or maybe it's a monogram for I and J. I don't know. Vastern Road, Reading, Berkshire, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A dark, blocky office building on the left. A very blue sky on the right. There's a grid over the image and there's a series of white dots, slashes and loops, like some strange symbol-based language. The plate glass windows of a modern high-rise office building (One Station Hill) reflects its neighbour (Thames Tower) and a mostly-clear noon sky. Visible inside the structure are strip lights, spherical lampshades and circular LED chandeliers (seemingly de rigueur for any office or retail space these days).

Very kind, AnnaLois. It is indeed a nice walk, particularly when the ground is covered in the white flowers of the wild garlic that grows in abundance there.
