The Pompey Centre, Portsmouth
This is an unusual post-processing technique for me. Though I like the original picture, it felt a bit sterile. I prefer this take on it.

Processing this picture I discovered an old fashioned British telephone booth in the street. I have no idea how it got here or why it is here.

Originally part of the route of the
Portsmouth and Arundel Canal, the railway was built in the canal bed.
For me this picture has a forties / fifties feel – ignoring the modern lamp posts, road markings and skyline that is. Most likely this is down to the very slight red tint/yellow tint I gave the picture during processing.

I find this modern sculpture rather menacing. There are two of them, one at either end of the shopping precinct.
The sculpture is meant to represent the breaking sea – and not a claw which is more how it appears to me.

Saw this while stretching my legs this afternoon, the sun was just going down, tracking up the side of the building.
I’m trying to get back into the habit of climbing the stairs of this building twice a day. It’ll do wonders for my legs but nothing for my waistline.
