Tower House, Old Portsmouth

Tower House, Old Portsmouth
Looking over the rooftops from the sea walls towards Tower House and it's beautiful "galleon" weather vane.

In the PiP is a view along the new sea defences looking towards the harbour entrance with the Square Tower on the right and Gosport on the left.

When enlarged the weather vane shows up as a real beauty and is set nicely above the verdigris on what I assume is a copper roof, The lovely blue sky helps to show this lovely old building in the best light
The pip is another superb capture Keith, Top shots once again !

What a beautiful weather vane Keith. Two lovely shots. I must admit I was intrigued by the building and have just looked it up and 'taken a tour' of the inside of the building, and was surprised to learn it was once the home of William Wyllie. Years ago we had a print of the 'Battle of Trafalgar', - amazing detail.

Beautifully captured Keith. Best wishes Carol

Thank you Carol..........glad you like these. Old Portsmouth has a fascinating history and many historical buildings. Always worth a visit.

As you will know Wylie was primarily a maritime artist and it's unsurprising he spent time in Portsmouth!

Die Galleone ist toll!!! Viel Beton an der Promenade aber ich vermute, das wird nötig sein?

Keith Burton club has replied to Tanja - Loughcrew club
Glad you like it. Old Portsmouth is a great mix of old and new buildings.

Unfortunately the old sea wall was falling to bits and nowhere near enough to prevent flooding, so the new sea defences are essential. I think they've done a great job and that the walls will look better as they weather!
