I haven't taken a photo for a couple of weeks so this is one taken at the end of November last year from Port Solent in Hampshire looking across at the walls of Portchester castle. I had just enough time to park the car, take a couple of photos and get back in the car before the rain started again!

I hope you're all having a good start to the new year. I enjoyed my time away catching up with family and now I'm back I'll try and catch up with all of your photos as soon as I can.

Please view large for best effect.

A superb picture Keith. I recognise it from my visit in 2021! I love the rays of light and the warm colour over the castle. The darker colours above show us that is was necessary to be close to the car to stay dry ;-))

Best wishes for 2022 and I look forward to more great pictures.

Nice to see this castle again Keith. We saw it in 2018 returning from France. Great light caught here. Well done.

Happy 2022. Keep safe. Herb

Trés bel endroit bien capté photographiquement. Cette architecture médiévale pourrait inspirer le cinéaste Ridley Scott. Amitié. Jean Paul

I would love to see an old castle such as this one in real life. How lovely that the light sky behind the castle makes it stand out. Does anyone still live there? I'm glad you made it into the car before the rain started.
2 years ago.
Keith Burton club has replied to Eunice Perkins club
Thanks Eunice........much appreciated. No one lives in the castle nowadays, but it is still used a lot............pre-covid it used to host cricket matches, fairs, markets, jousting tournaments etc., and it is a popular place for families to play and picnic. Hopefully, come the summer it will return to being used to the full.
