Happy Fence Friday everyone.

This was taken in Southsea, Hampshire. You can see the top of the lighthouse and part of the castle walls with the Union Flag flying.

Neat details here...the obligatory fence leads right to and past the marvelous lighthouse! Nice foreground too.

Thanks so much for your enthusiastic response to my pictures of Deception Pass, I'm glad you enjoyed the show! :) I sure do understand your trepidation with heights--inner ear problems will certainly mess up balance and I have sometimes suffered vertigo when I've had sinus issues. Better to be safe than sorry. The mere idea of spinning around in your head when on something high and scary...NOPE. I get it! Sorry that you're slowly losing some of your hearing, hopefully you'll always be able to compensate properly with aids.

LOL your comment about me "taking it easy"...you're right, it's not in my vocabulary! Honestly though, we realize that our next big trip will need to be full-timing, so we can relax at a location for WEEKS at a time, say a month--so we CAN relax properly. Our trip was annoying in that, we planned our points to be 4-5 days each, with the hopes we would be able to chill out, but it was never long enough and so we weren't able to "kick back and relax" as we'd hoped to. A bummer because I cannot disappear into my photographic bliss without being relaxed, so I only got a few days from all those weeks that are creeping macros. What a bummer that was, but we'll fix that issue next time around. And at the same time, I did get 50 bazillion pictures in the more scenic variety so no harm, no foul! :)

Ok, off I go...such fun to flit by for a visit! :D *hugs*

It is about a year ago that I was looking around this area and on the way back to the car and fish and chips, a wave drenched me, my sister and three brothers!! We couldn't stop laughing, but I did manage to get a photo of the most wet brother ;-)) I love this area and look forward to our annual day trip.

You have captured the scene so well for this group Keith.
HFF and I wish you a great weekend.

Well spotted Wilhelm.............they would have been just to the left and a bit lower down.........but the same (very long) fence.

Beautifully composed with the inclusion of the rocks in the foreground adding a neat layered effect from rocks to fence, lighthouse and flag to that lovely cloud formation beyond. Well captured Keith. HFF and have a good weekend

I used to visit South 60+ years ago, Keith, but I can' remember this scene. The only thing I really remember is the shingle beach on a steep slope, and the Guinness clock in the gardens along the esplanade.
Belated HFF and I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Keith Burton club has replied to Amelia club
Glad I brought back some memories for you Amelia...........the beach hasn't changed: it's still shingle and still slopes towards the sea. I don't remember the Guinness Clock....although apparently they were several of them in use as mobile adverts and they were withdrawn in around 1966.
