Sunshine, Silhouettes and Sea Mist

Sunshine, Silhouettes and Sea Mist
Taken on South Parade Pier Southsea, Hampshire.

The building you can barely see on the horizon (on the right hand side) enveloped in the mist is Horse Sand Fort, one of a number of forts built in the waters of the Solent over 150 years ago in response to a perceived invasion by the French, which never actually happened.

Some history here if you're interested: solentforts.com/about/solent-fort-history

........and a history of the Pier here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Parade_Pier

I added a bit of information about the fort (even though it is not the subject of the photo), as I know you are an inquisitive bunch on here, and that someone was probably going to ask me what it was :-))

Rachel J Bowler, Tanja - Loughcrew, Frans Schols, Jean Paul Capdeville and 20 other people have particularly liked this photo

A beautiful composition that you have to look at with half-closed eyes because the light transcends the computer screen and makes me part of this vibrant scene. It would have been a beautiful reception before a possible French invasion. Have a nice Weekend. Keith.

Love the photo, the Fort on the mist adds to it. Will see the link later tonight, now we are going to "matança", it means killing the pork, (no a person, LOL!), we do it with minimum suffering and utmost respect for the animal. I cannot say I enjoy it, but I love black pork meat so I have to assume... and for most of the people in the village raising a pig is the only way to have meat on a regular basis because they cannot afford to buy it.

Thank you so much Isabel.

I hope you had a good day and enjoyed the meal with your friend.

I'm relieved to hear that it wasn't a person ;-)))

Friends… the whole village, about 70 persons eating together. We do that regularly, a way to keep the village alive

Wonderful light and terrific composition with a little sea mist which adds so much to the image,
spring is coming and the sun is gaining strength and can be seen by the shadows and the light through the magnificent scrolls under the railings, Top shot my friend.

A beautifully framed photo, you caught the atmosphere of sea mist and sun very well! The glimpse of the fort is tantalizing!
I remember sea mist very well from holidays on Guernsey, spooky and fascinating...

I do love this photo Keith - it's a typically British scene isn't it? As that shape was on the horizon, I inadvertently thought it was a cruise ship. I know what kind of fort you're talking about - although they weren't used for their original purposes, it's better to be safe than sorry,

An outstanding shot Keith. We had the same weather in Weymouth on the 14th. The glistening sea is beautiful and I just see the outline of the fort. It's deceptively simple and not an easy shot to get right....well, for me anyway.
