Photographs of Portsmouth and the surrounding area.
All that remains — This one bit of the old Tricorn Centre remains. It’s not a good angle. It was blowing a gale, raining and I was trying to keep the camera dry. I added some clouds in post-production because the original sky was blown out from having to expose the picture for the dark concrete.
Neon — I liked the colour. OK?
Bench — The seat is in the shape of a quill pen. Commercial Road Precinct. Portsmouth.
Commercial Road Looking North — The leaf litter is evidence of the very high winds we have had the past couple of days.
Southsea Castle Entrance.
Southsea Castle.
Brian Kidd Way and Southsea Castle. And a note on my very (very) small contribution to preserving artifacts from the Mary Rose.
All Saints Church, Portsmouth.
Drive-by Shot – I drive past this building most days, and I love the way the afternoon light catches it, but I have never had a reason to stop and try and photograph it.
Maisonettes Gary Helped Build — When I left college, I worked for a summer as a labourer on a building site, building these apartments.

South Parade Pier – Variations on a theme – III — Black and White.

The Beach Beyond This Point Is Used By Nudists. 2
X Marks the spot — Where the beach end of the sewer outfall pipe is located.
Sea Cabbage on Eastney Beach.
DERA Eastney, Portsmouth – Silhouette.
Milton Lake (Langstone Harbour).
Milton Lake (Langstone Harbour).
Langstone Harbour Entrance – This channel marker is looking pretty beat up. That’s probably because it’s close to the beach, and so a good target for stones, and quite likely either someone has run into it, or tried to tie up to it.
Uneven Keel – I didn’t check but it looks like this yacht is quite badly damaged – unless one of the keels has just sunk into the mud.
Pots — Old crab and lobster pots piled high on the shore.
Passage — Passage of time, passage to anywhere, passage through life. At some point the fishing boat will probably become an abandoned hulk on the shore.
