England

The view over Portsmouth from Portsdown hill, with the English channel, Solent and Isle of Wight in the background.

Inspired (365: 145). This was a last-minute session by monitor light, because, for the first time in 144 days I nearly forgot to take my picture, and I still haven’t been able to find a replacement bulb for my favourite lamp.

Reading (365: 144).

You’ve Got Mail (365: 143) — Nothing fancy, just me at my PC in youngest’s room. I seem to be spending quite a lot of time here. Flickr has a lot to answer for 🙂

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

Recycling.

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.

Window Shopping — Checking out the goodies. I’m fed up with no remote and no manual focus.

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.

Waiting.

Listening to the silence between thoughts (365: 140) — Yesterday I spent some time catching up on the ‘phone. I thought it’d be fun to recreate that time for my 365 picture. I look bloody miserable, well I’m not; it’s concentration…

I Told You So (365: 139) — I’ve not read this book in years, and on picking it up I remembered it contains a hint on how to find what you need most. Hold the question in your mind and take a book, any book, open it at random, and there you’ll find your answer. I tried it.

Lunch at the ‘Gate’ (365: 138) — Invited for a lunch time meeting I picked a Pub. Note this is a very rare thing. I had a drink; I’m normally strictly water until the evening

A pain in the wallet (365: 137) — A weekly chore, and why is it as soon as I fill it up, Youngest needs his car back again?

Ghosts (365: 136) — A friend asked a question, and I promised an answer, little knowing the ghosts from my past answering it would raise.

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.
