A weir on the River Avon has appeared on maps of Bath, England, ever since 1603.

Located just downriver from the Pulteney Bridge, the Pulteney Weir was built in the late Middle Ages to prevent the river from flooding the town of Bath.

The weir was completely rebuilt in the early 1970s and given a more effective and now iconic V-shape design. A sluice and controlled flood gates were also added in the upgrade.

Just upstream from the weir is Pulteney Bridge, constructed in the early 1770s. It crosses the River Avon and replaced the need for a ferry. The bridge was designed by Robert Adam and named after William Jonestone and Frances Pulteney. They secured the funding from Parliament, so they named the bridge after themselves.

The Pulteney Bridge is one of only four bridges worldwide with shops across the full span on both sides. It’s a beautiful place to walk, shop, and sight-see. The view from above the weir and bridge is breathtaking.

Famously, it was the scene of Javert's su***de in the 2012 film version of Les Misérables.

A Bamburgh Moonscape, an experiment in light.

The main image was taken using a head lamp to light the foreground (very briefly) during a long exposure of the camera.

I feel like it gives the image an ‘other worldly’ or martian surface feel… what do you think?

‘Stag Rock’ is located at the north end of St. Aidans’ beach at on the coast.

The exact origin of rock is unknown, but the area has been known as 'Stag Rock' since at least the 1800s.

Local legend has it that a stag jumped into the sea here, rather than be killed by hunters pursuing it from Spindlestone. There is also folklore in which St Aidan (7th century) saved a stag from a pack of hounds by making it invisible at this location.

🗣Cristiano Ronaldo: “I wanted Cristiano Jr to see where I grew up. We went to see the room where I used to live.

My son looked at me and said: ‘Dad did you really live here?’ He couldn’t believe it.

I try to instill in him that everything is not easy, things don’t just fall from the sky.”

I teach him to work hard and be dedicated.”

Senior doctors in England plan to strike again in September unless the government agrees to more pay negotiations, their union said on Monday, and the health department restated that its last pay offer was "final."

The NHS has been disrupted by healthcare workers walking out in demand of pay rises to cope with record inflation, but the government has resisted those calls arguing that such hikes could entrench rising prices. The dispute has resulted in thousands of hospital appointments being cancelled, increasing pressure on the NHS which was already struggling with record waiting lists.

Consultant-level doctors in Britain's publicly funded National Health Service (NHS) will strike on Sept. 19 and 20, the British Medical Association (BMA), said in a statement. "It is now 133 days since the Secretary of State last met with us ... We are once again appealing to the Health Secretary to return to the table," BMA Consultants Committee Chair Dr Vishal Sharma said.

Senior doctors took industrial action for two days in July, and are already scheduled to do so again later in August. "It is disappointing consultants have announced further strike dates affecting patients and hampering efforts to cut NHS waiting lists," a spokesperson for the government's Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said.

"We have accepted the independent pay review body recommendations in full, giving consultants a 6% pay rise ... This pay award is final." British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak last month said "no amount of strikes will change" the government's decision on public sector pay. Teaching unions had responded by pausing strikes, but doctors' unions were unimpressed after what they say have been years of pay erosion for their members.
