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.

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

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.

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.
Long post...

#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.
