Keith Burton's photos

Taken at the end of November last year. I haven't taken any photos in 2024 yet as the weather has been awful with almost constant rain. Having just returned home from spending some time away, I have a lot of catching up to do, which I'll work on over the next few days, so please be patient with me. A slightly belated Happy New Year to you all.

The Old Mill at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire, taken at low tide. On the right you can see the footpath on the sea wall, and the reeds that surround the mill pond. On the left are the masts in the sailing club yard, and just in front of those, the road bridge to Hayling Island. There is also the remains of an old coal barge lying in the mud. Probably best viewed large. I won't be around much this week and on Friday we're off to Devon for about a week. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you, and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It has been a pleasure to share my photos (and some of my life) with you all. I am grateful for all your visits, comments, yellow stars and humour over the years I have been a member. I shall now be taking a short break until after Boxing Day. See you soon and take care of yourselves!

This beautiful piece of ceramic artwork has been moulded to the brickwork of the library building in Cosham, Nr Portsmouth in Hampshire. It was done as part of the Portsmouth Street Art Festival which took place back in September. It's worth viewing this one large if you can. The artist is Lisa Steven: www.flickr.com/photos/c-urchin

Tabletop photography........going for a low-key effect. The light indoors has been pretty rubbish lately, so have been dropping hints about a studio light this Christmas :-)))

These are the windows of an office complex in Portsmouth, Hampshire.

Distorted reflections of lakeside trees.

I love this wonky red bottle, but I'm accumulating too much "stuff" in my props box, so this one will be off to the charity shop soon for someone else to use. The weather here is damp and miserable at the moment, so tabletop photography is the way to go.

I found this growing wild just the other side of my garden fence last September...........I don't remember seeing any flowers on it, but I did notice these seed heads, which looked really lovely in the sunshine. I'm pretty sure it's called Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum), which is a member of the Asteraceae family. Unless you know any different..................?

Emsworth Harbour, Hampshire taken back in may this year, when it was warm and sunny!

The slowly dying leaves on the Acer tree in my garden...........taken just over a moth ago. All the leaves have completely gone now!

Houseboats at the Kench (a nature reserve), in Hayling Island Hampshire at low tide. Best viewed large for detail. Thank you.

I've been playing around with a couple of old clock springs. I quite like the abstract shapes they make. There are two more images in the PiPs if you'd like to see more. Thanks for looking :-)

Grey skies over Exmouth beach, Devon. Taken during our last visit. Best viewed large. Thanks for looking.

There's always time for chocolate. Taken indoors on my tabletop in natural light. Some of you may remember that a while ago, I took an old clock to bits and photographed all the pieces. I kept some of the pieces and eventually they've come in handy..!! www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/52072860/in/album/1326552

I'm not sure exactly what type of ivy this is, but I think it's Virginia Creeper. It grows on some derelict land near where Ilve and it's really beautiful.

The view out to sea from the Hayling Island Ferry Jetty at Eastney. Hayling island on the left and the Eastney Life Boat Station on the right Please view large on black if you have time. Thank you and enjoy your Sunday!

A simple image from me today! Thanks to everyone who has visited my photo-stream over the past week, especially if you have left a comment or given a yellow star. Always much appreciated and it makes sharing worthwhile. Have a splendid weekend folks!
