Seen on the Blogosphere

Bath Daily Photo Blog is back! Same wonderful city but different photographers (Tom and Emma Dawson). The old Bath Daily Photo with James Russielo gave us a splendid year of images. This one seems equal to the task, as you can see of this photo of Pulteney Bridge.

Want a handsome man to read Pride and Prejudice to you? During a Carte Noir moment, Dominic West reads the scene in which Mr. Darcy proposes to Elizabeth and rouses her resentment by avowing that which he had felt and long felt.

Meanwhile, the deadline for winning Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict is tonight. Contest rules sit in the side bar.

Bath Daily Photo

One of my favorite sites has closed shop for now. James Russiello of the Bath Daily Photo took me down memory lane every time I entered the blog. The good news is that his archived posts will remain on the blogosphere for us to view. The bad news is that he's moving to Ireland.
I enjoyed James's frequent trips to my blog and the comments he left. Mostly, I appreciated his talent for showing Bath in a glowing light. James, whose commentary is as informative as his photos, promises to return to this site in a few months to update it. I hope so.

Good luck, my Internet friend. May you find success and happiness in your new position. Meanwhile, here are some of James' photos of Pulteney Bridge, such as this one taken at night. The one above is taken on the bridge itself, facing the shops. One can imagine Jane Austen walking past this scene and finding it comfortably familiar.

Correction, the previous image sitting earlier on this post was of the Rialto Bridge in Venice. My trigger finger uploaded the wrong image. My apologies.
