Selesy Avenue — looking west.

Smile.

Worsley Street — Looking east.

Adair Road — Looking north from the southern end.

Too blue — It used to be white, and I have a vague memory that it was included in some sailing guides as a “white house, Conspic.” St. George’s Road, Eastney.

My home city (365: 146) — I was born in Portsmouth; we moved away when I was eighteen months old and returned when I was sixteen. Portsmouth is mainly built on an Island; surrounded by the Solent to the South, Langstone Harbour to the East, Portsmouth Harbour to the West, and Ports Creek, an almost dried up creek at low water to the North.

View from Portsdown Hill — This is the view over Portsmouth from Portsdown Hill, with the English Channel, Solent, and Isle of Wight in the background.

Spring — No I didn’t put the rubbish there, that’s just how I saw it. Commercial Road shopping precinct.

Mirror, Mirror (365: 141) – across the arcade and backed into an alcove for a better angle and something to lean against. I was just about to leave when I realised I was sandwiched between two mirrors. 3

Accessorize. 2

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.

Homeward Bound (365: 135) — It was such a beautiful evening, I asked Liv, my car share buddy, to drop me off about a mile along the seafront from my home. On my way, I stopped to sit and listen to the sea, take pictures, and get my SP for the day.

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.
