Vacations & Breaks

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.

Calm Centre (365: 135) – Many years ago I visited this spot at a time when I needed to make an important decision. At that time, I also needed a place and memory to act as a calm reference point to carry with me and help in the years to come. 3 | 2

Walking Home (365: 133) — This may be a strange concept to my American contacts, but I walk to the shops (1,6 miles) and home again. “I haven’t got much to get” turned into 23.5 Lbs (I checked) of excess baggage in my rucksack.

Curry Night (365: 131).

Polling Day (365: 117) – Local council elections, and Gary does his civic duty.

By the beach — Gary + hedge.

On the beach (365: 99) – I had to wade into the sea, to get one shot, so I thought I might as well take my 365 days self-portrait at the same time … 1

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.

Out for a ride — I borrowed the PM’s bike and tried to see if I could find some photographs. Funny how I ended up sunbathing on the nudist beach.
