  1. Wow. Yesterday I posted a little introduction about Solent.Social, and over the last 24 hours, you've blown me away with 50 boosts and nearly 40 reactions!

    Thank you all so much for the incredible support. Running a small, independent instance can feel daunting, but your reactions have completely validated that this project is worth the time and effort. Incredibly grateful to the Fediverse community today!

  3. A yacht on the Solent as seen from Steamship Shieldhall in 2022 for #MeerMittwoch this week. I've been on a yacht precisely once in my life and once was enough. Relaxing, it was not.

  4. The Solent Seascape Project:
    "a collaborative long term initiative, working to restore multiple habitats across the Solent strait – a diverse estuarine system between the Isle of Wight and mainland England."

  5. Toxic 'Forever Chemicals' Permeate Solent Ecosystem

    New research shows 'forever chemicals' (PFAS) in Solent seaweed, fish, and porpoises. Wastewater plants are a major source. Find out what this means for you.

  6. Levels of toxic 'forever chemicals' in Solent waters are up to 13 times higher than safety limits. This affects marine life and potentially seafood.

  7. I've just purchased the domain solent.social as I'm thinking about possibly making that an instance that my friends, family, local business' and more can join.

    In the end the local social group could easily start using an instance like that and then move away when they feel like a new part of the Fediverse, different software or anything else makes more sense for them.

    I'm not sure if that's the best idea or if I'm just sorta just overstepping with creating this sort of stuff.

  8. Final #MeerMittwoch of the year, and a local sight if you're sailing out of Southampton and between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight (in the background) is No Man's Land Fort, one of the Palmerston Solent Forts built in the 19th century to defend from a French invasion that never took place.

  9. At the northern bank, which faces onto the #Solent, used the be a recreational area for Victoria and her family. Thankfully, now the general public can access it.

  10. #Reform candidate should be ‘expelled’ after racist attack on 3 #Scottish politicians

    We told how Chris #Parry, a retired naval rear admiral who is contesting the #Hampshire and the #Solent (Isle of Wight) #mayoral #election, took aim at Humza Yousaf, Kaukab Stewart, and Anas Sarwar on Twitter/X.

    He had previously said that Justice Secretary David#Lammy should “go home to the #Caribbean”.

  11. External and internal views of Portchester Castle near Portsmouth in the UK.
    Originally a Roman fort, later used by the Normans to build the 100 ft high keep and surrounding buildings. used throughout the medieval period, and more recently as a POW camp in the Napoleonic war as well as holding Afro-Caribbean soldiers captured while fighting on St Lucia.

  12. @sharongascoigne lovely! We’ve been to #Bembridge sailing a few times. Unfortunately UK customs make it almost impossible to go there again bc we have our dog which we imported from Yorkshire ourselves, with us now. We love the UK so much…#Solent #isleofwight 😭😭
    At the same time we love Ivy😍

  13. For #MeerMittwoch here's a view of #Portsmouth from the sea, showing the historic waterfront with the Round Tower and Hot Walls to the right then the Spinnaker Tower and HMS Warrior to the left beyond Spice Island. Taken from the paddle steamer Waverley in 2022.

  14. The platform affords wonderful views the #land and the #sea almost all the way around. Here, for example, you can see a #PassengerFerry bound for the Isle of Wight, which can be seen across the strait (the #Solent). The town on the over side of the bay is #Gosport.

  15. Guess who knocked the front standard again! Getting the hang, and using a wide angle presents itself with some headaches with the smaller bag bellows.

    Trying to correct for the distortion of the wide angle lens, parallels in the verticals and fiddle with the depth of field ‘in-camera’ by moving, rotating and tilting the lens and film plane is a challenge and was so, so close! I need to watch removing the old timey focussing cloth on my head 🥴

    Fairly happy otherwise and need to work out why the negs are getting scratched, I suspect it’s the film holder loading process. Second pic is the camera at work, third is a night time test in #norwich, #Norfolk.
