Portsmouth city is situated on Portsea Island and as such in England's only island city.
You can never be that far from the coast in the UK and as with so many places, Portsmouth also advertises itself as a seaside resort. The part of the island that is most associated with the beach is Southsea, the island's southernmost shore. The beach is pebbled, not golden sand, but the sea is normally fairly safe and many familys chose to holiday here.
For those not wanting to venture abroad there is everything you could possibly want wehn holidaying at an English seaside resort... cheap "one star" accommodation, fairground rides, bingo halls, ice cream vans, crazy golf, burger stalls and arcades full of fruit machines.
As each summers day draws to a close the beach becomes deserted and the groups of sunburnt individuals head off in different directions, some back to their home on the island, some back home elsewhere by car or possibly train and then there are those that are staying in a local hotel or bed and breakfast; for them the night is still young.
Portsmouth's seafront is lined with pubs, bars, cafes, restaurants and nightclubs and although many of these could probably best be described as tired, they never fail to attract crowds of visitors willing to part with their cash.
This image is of Portsmouth's most elegant pier "South Parade Pier". All is quiet in the image in the early afternoon as the sun filters through the salty windows. You cannot tell that several pensioners have just strolled through for prime views of the Solent, neither can you see the teenagers fishing and jumping off the pier, despite signs saying that this is illegal.
Later tonight the mood will change, the volume level will be increased and some money will be spent by some if not all.

Image made the month before last.
I thought a little bit of billing and cooing might be in order, to cheer up a very grey, foggy day! The hen bird is gently preening her mates head feathers.

I promise no more pix of this staircase until I take new ones
I found my folder of pix from The Gathering & I'm obsessing over this place.
Note the cute little door under the stairs (I ♥ it).
This is what I saw in the front window of the larger yellow car I could not identify. Too bad I did not check that out.
Looking for a Christmas gift for the photographer who has everything? How about getting them a Diana+ mini? The Diana+ mini is a 35mm film camera that can take 36 square shots or 72 half-frame shots per roll, and can do multiple exposures easily.
Make sure to stock their stuffing with some Ilford 3200, Kodak EBX Elitechrome, and Fujifilm Velvia.
If you've been putting off jumping into film--what are you waiting for?
Taken on a fairly chilly morning on holiday in September. This blue tit seemed to be clinging to the window frame for warmth.
I think the person who styled the front end of these was rather influenced by Manga Magazines at an early age!

This house is kind of cute. I've seen several houses with these lacy window wood carvings throughout northern Russia. Apparently, the custom dates back to the 19th century – and probably earlier – when ornaments were added to window and door frames as a talisman to protect the house and the family from evil spirits. The motifs used range from geometric patterns to floral, animal and human figures. This house is quite rich in ornaments, one of the fanciest that we saw in Goritsy. The owner recognized the tourist potential of his house and hopes to earn a few rubles by having people visit the place (see the hand-painted panel on the right). In fact, this is all part of the cultural heritage of northern Russia and there seems to be some effort put into preserving it (see next).
