The Round Tower, Portsmouth Harbour

The Round Tower, Portsmouth Harbour
Situated at the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour, the Round Tower was built around 1418 to defend the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour and prevent raids on the city by French ships. It is a Grade II listed building. Nowadays, it is a popular place for people to gather to watch ships entering and leaving the harbour.

This was taken on a grey, misty day, so converting the image to black and white seemed the right way to go as there wasn't much colour anyway.

Please view large for best effect.

Agreed on the mood! Very choppy. I was debating recently about how you Illustrate weather. This is a perfect example. You can tell exactly what it was like! Great shot

An area I know well. Great composition, I think your photo captures a grey day perfectly and makes for a really good moody shot.

By coincidence, we have the same thing against the English ships! Equality everywhere.
I think it's better now.

You have captured the mood beautifully Keith. Some shots are perfect for b&w! It was pretty choppy as we drove along the front on Wednesday. I didn't want another drenching!! ;-))

Take care and have a great weekend.

You have done well with this scene Keith. Lots of people would have left it alone in that kind of weather but your capture does it justice. I have been and explored parts of Portsmouth but cannot remember seeing this tower. Well done.

Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

ps just been reminded that we did get to see this. My memory not as good as I would like it t be!
