We've spent several sunny hours in the port for their open day. We got to explore a bunkering vessel and a yacht plus had a harbour tour. Loads of exhibits, we won some tote bags, and it was great to see so many people, especially families, enjoying the free event.

From the same hill, you can see the British #mainland and here is #Portsmouth, where you can just make out the #SpinnakerTower, which we visiting earlier this year.

#FotoVorschlag: An der Schwelle zum Tag
Photo theme: At the dawn of day
I wasn't sure we were ever awake to see a sunrise but remembered a few occasions and one of them was sailing back into Portsmouth aboard the now-scrapped cruise ship Astoria in 2018.

We were treated to a wonderful display from the Red Arrows over Ryde last Sunday.
Unfortunately the weather was rubbish and meant that the photoshoot wasn't the best. We have been coerced into making this one public by a few customers in the shop who wanted it on their walls.
The Red Arrows were fab as always, the sun came out within minutes of the display ending. #RedArrows #SpinnakerTower

We've had a pleasant few hours down Spice Island commemorating the life of our friend's wife. Always lovely to meet up with various friends and family for this annual event although that heatwave of the last week vanished in a hurry down by the water. Quite a chilly breeze by the time we parted company with everyone.

For #SchiffsSamstag here's HMS Prince of Wales, the fleet flagship of the Royal Navy, at her home port (and ours) of Portsmouth. This was taken as we cruised out aboard Scarlet Lady in 2021 and it was a great experience to see all the naval and historic vessels from this perspective.

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.

The lowest observation level of the #SpinnakerTower features a #GlassFloor for those who dare to stand on it and see how high up they’re standing. I must confess to having fear of heights but I did manage to stand in the middle of the glass deck and look down.

From this vantage point, the back of the #SpinnakerTower can be seen.
And here are a few more views of it from a a bit closer.
The tower is 170 m tall with three #ObservationDecks, the lowest of which is 100 m hight. I have to say that my wife was a little underwhelmed by the structure until, that is, we got up to the first #ObservationPlatform. A clue is that dark rectangle you can see on the underside.

As #spring is here, it’s time to resume our own form of #EthicalTourism or #EcoToruism (day trips involving travel only by #bike and #PublicTransport – #Trains, in this case). As I’m a #StructuralEngineer, I like seeing interesting #structures and so I picked #Portsmouth. Quite recently, it had a #tower built called the #SpinnakerTower as it resembles a #spinnaker #sail. It is by no means unique, nor is it the tallest, but it’s comfortably within a day trip’s distance of us.

Local law prohibits visitors to Gunwharf from not taking a photo of the Spinnaker Tower and posting it online. Technically, I obeyed this law when I posted it on an Instagram story yesterday but I see no reason not to share it here too.

For #FensterFreitag an iconic sight in the #Portsmouth skyline: the Spinnaker Tower. You can't fail to miss it if you're anywhere near our city. The tower is 170 metres high and it has viewing platforms within with the lowest you can see here at 100 metres up.
This was taken in 2007, a couple of years after it opened to the public, and significantly later than planned.

Alas #Rawtherapee struggles with the night shots from my #Canon so the #SpinnakerTower isn't so good.

I quite enjoy engaging in the "Add Yours" story photos on #Instagram these days and one I've just posted there was for "Where are you from?" so I thought I'd share the photo here too.
This is the Spinnaker Tower in our home city of #Portsmouth; a lovely piece of distinctive #architecture with a maritime feel on the city waterfront near the naval base. This was taken in 2010 and to the left you can see masts of HMS Warrior and HMS Victory.

This is Portsmouth Harbour, an inlet of the Solent, along with our city's famous Spinnaker Tower from the water for #MeerMittwoch today. Left of the tower you can see masts of HMS Warrior and behind that is the Royal Navy Dockyard. This photo was taken in 2014 from the ferry that runs regularly between Portsmouth and Gosport.

#BembridgeHarbour on the #IsleofWight photographed on Sunday afternoon by my husband.
The conditions were crisp and clear, the light perfect on a late summer's day.
Just beyond the harbour is St Helens beach and #Portsmouth beyond that. If you look closely you can see the #SpinnakerTower

Nice to be out!
The landscape is looking glorious this evening, peak green colours of late spring.

This view across the #Solent is only a few minutes walk from home.
Taken by my husband from the #IsleofWight you can see #Portmouth across the water with the #SpinnakerTower illuminated. The Tower is often lit in varying colours so you never know what to expect each evening!
This old jetty got damaged in a storm and has recently been rebuilt.

#TravelPhotography from #OnThisDay last year, taken as we sailed out of our home port of #Portsmouth aboard Virgin's Valiant Lady #cruise ship towards Belgium. We're looking at the #SpinnakerTower that dominates the waterfront and skyline of our city. It's normally white and at this time was typically lit up in blue and yellow in support of Ukraine but it took on red illumination for our ship's departure.

This is where I live: #Portsmouth as seen about twelve years ago today from the top of Portsdown Hill. That's the #IsleOfWight in the distance, and you can see that Portsmouth is connected to the mainland of #England by a motorway there. Indeed, Portsmouth is the UK's only city on an island. The structure you can see in the centre is the #SpinnakerTower.

My husband took this a couple of hours ago. The moon as it rose beside the #SpinnakerTower in Portsmouth.
It was pretty cold down on Fishbourne Beach on the #IsleofWight where we were standing with the camera and #telephotolens ready.
The moon is only in the right position to photograph this a couple of times a year and it needs to be a virtually cloud free sky, so we had to brave the freezing temperatures! #photography
