This mural of downtown Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada was painted on a building next to a commercial parking lot. There are many murals throughout the city, each representing the diversity found throughout Moncton.
Jones Lake in Moncton was stunning this evening. The best camera is the one you have with you, so my iPhone had to do!
This shot was taken just down the road from where I live and it overlooks The Solent and Isle Of Wight. Its called Haslar Sea Wall and is part of Portsmouth Harbour sea defences.The sea wall starts at Fort Blockhouse at Portsmouth Harbour entrance and continues for about a mile overlooking Spithead anchorage to Fort Monkton at the western end. This fort has an interesting history from when it was built in 1779 to the present day.
Here is an extract about its current use Courtesy of Wikipedia.
Now referred to as No.1 Military Training Establishment by the British Army,[12] it is occupied by the Ministry of Defence[12] and houses the Secret Intelligence Service Training Section where SIS officers as well as officers from allied services and agents are trained.[13] During the Cold War this included Stay-behind agents from continental Europe.[14] In his book The Big Breach, former MI6 officer Richard Tomlinson states that Fort Monckton is now the SIS's field operations training centre,[15][16] where both basic and advanced field training is given to SIS personnel,[17] and liaison training with other services including the Special Air Service and Special Boat Service is undertaken.
So it looks as if James Bond was trained in Gosport.😄

Podcast interview with John Meadows about my 1980s Toronto series--on "My Photography Podcast" (MPP).
Moncton Cathedral. Photos from around Moncton, Canada Day weekens, 2011. Working with a new 2X Teleplus, and with Photomatix, playing around to try to draw something more out of the images. I know some of these are over the top, but I'm experimenting.
I've been posting mostly photos including GEs, so I figured I'd post an EMD photo before the EMD police came after me.
This past Sunday, I made a run up to Moncton, with the goal of possibly shooting either IANR 3811, or GTW 4623, or maybe both. The 2 units had came down within the previous few days. I was certainly surprised though when I saw both paired up together.
The Iowa Northern and Grand Trunk EMD 4 axles work the CN Moncton Gordon Yard morning west side job known as CN 541. This yard job for the past couple of years has used 6 axle EMD or GE locomotives, however they have gone back to 4 axles in recent times. Unfortunately this job doesn't make it out of the yard, so the only way to see this pair currently is to stand in this one open spot that has been slowly getting taken over by nature within the past few years.
HMCS Moncton is a Kingston-class coastal defence vessel that has served in the Canadian Forces since 1998. The Kingston class was designed to fill the minesweeper, coastal patrol and reserve training needs of the Canadian Forces. In order to perform these varied duties the Kingston-class vessels are designed to carry up to three 6.1-metre (20 ft) ISO containers with power hookups on the open deck aft in order to embark mission-specific payloads.
