Hampshire

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.

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.

Firelight (365: 98) – It was 27°C (81°F) in the shade here today, so what better way to celebrate in the cooler evening than sitting by the fire with a glass of wine. 4

Up Close (365: 95) — Too close in fact, despite using a bit of zoom to try and prevent the distortion.

Floating – Disconnected from the main buildings and the shore, the pier seemed to float in the mist.

The First Sign of Summer — The flying fish come out of winter retirement. 2

Feet up (365: 92).

Trapped (365:91) – No time today. Too busy working on the hall. (re-titled and re-edited). 2

Day 03. Stairs — Most of the clearing up is complete. I detest these stairs. I’ve spent hours looking at them, trying to come up with an idea of how to deal with them. So far, no joy.

Day 03. Fruits of our labours — That is a lot of rubble. It took one day to knock it down and two days to clear it up!

Work in progress.

Day 02. Just a bit of a mess.

Day 02. Middle hall looking east.

Day 02. This was my Workroom — Ceiling and wall taken down.

Day 02. Looking Out … From my workroom into the hall.

Day 02. This was my Workroom — Ceiling and wall taken down.

Day 02. Middle Hall Looking west — Partway through clearing up.

Temporary Storage — All the stuff in my workroom is now in the Kitchen and out in the garden! How did such a lot of stuff fit in such a small room? 2

Outside My Comfort Zone; Combining Retail and Aversion Therapy (365: 89) — I have a really strong aversion to using my camera in public places, so I’m forcing myself to give it a try. While busy this particular aisle in the store was almost empty.

Choices, choices — I have a really strong aversion to using my camera in public places, so I’m forcing myself to give it a try. While busy this particular aisle in the store was almost empty.
