A Gatwick Express unit with the 1N24 10.43 Brighton to Southampton Central service crosses the River Hamble.
It was such a treat to re-visit this area. The 'Jolly Sailor' was a popular destination when I lived near hear back in the late 1970's.
An image created on a rocky section of Southampton beach at the foot of the historical Long Dock. Its remnants are submerged, stretching out towards Chantry island.
The image was taken during our end of season Saugeen Shores Camera Club meeting held outdoors at this favourite location.

A statue to Isaac Watts, hymn writer, theologian, logician and Congregational minister, born in Southampton in 1674. A gull just sees this as a place to stand.
This train is for Mini Cars, built at Cowley in Oxford then exported via Southampton Docks.
The wagons have been unloaded and will form the 4V39 17.33 departure back to the factory after the loco has run round the consist. A rather long train consisting of ten five wagon articulated sets.
Five multi story car parks can be seen in the image that are used for storing vehicles being handled by the docks for import or export.
At the Ocean Terminal is the cruise liner AIDAprima. It is the flagship of AIDA Cruises, built by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding at their shipyard in Nagasaki, Japan. The cruise ship entered service in April 2016 and can carry 3,300 passengers.
To the left of the loco are fifteen blades from offshore windmills.
The River Itchen in Hampshire, England, rises to the south of New Alresford at Hinton Ampner and flows 42 km to meet Southampton Water below the Itchen Bridge. The Itchen Navigation was constructed in the late 17th and early 18th centuries to enable barges to reach Winchester from Southampton Docks, but ceased to operate in the mid-19th century and is largely abandoned today.
The river is one of the world's premier chalk streams for fly fishing, amenable to dry fly or nymphing. The local chalk aquifer has excellent storage and filtration and the river has long been used for drinking water. Watercress thrives in its upper reaches.
Much of the river from its source to Swaythling is classified as a 748.5-hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and a Special Area of Conservation, of which the 9-hectare Hockley Meadows nature reserve is a part. The Itchen estuary is part of the separate Lee-on-The Solent to Itchen Estuary SSSI.
This part of the river is in Riverside Park which is a 32 hectare site located along the River Itchen and includes six football pitches, two cricket pitches, a tennis court, skate park and three play areas. The Southampton and District Society of Model Engineers run a miniature railway open to the public on Sunday afternoons during the summer months.
Recognised internationally as an important habitat for wildlife such as salmon, water voles, kingfishers, dragonflies and otters. The non-tidal section of the river support a variety of freshwater fish, including dace, roach and the migratory salmon and sea trout. Continuing along the river gives views onto the conservation areas on the other side where unusual species make their home including kingfisher, water vole, otter, various warblers and sometimes even cuckoos.
The Itchen Navigation Heritage Trail Project is a Heritage Lottery project managed by the Wildlife Trust preserving an internationally important chalk river system for future generations. They have produced a range of leaflets on walks along the Itchen Navigation from Riverside Park to Winchester. Bargeman's Walk Mansbridge is a two mile circular walk starting and ending at Woodmill.
