In Southampton Water.

Five are the 13 storey 1960s Weston Tower blocks (Hampton, Havre, Oslo, Copenhagen and Rotterdam), along Weston Shore.
Three are the Svitzer tugs against their home jetty.

Love the tugs... not so the prison blocks !

There are some marvellous sights to be seen from those cell windows but apparently many of the inmates are unhappy with leaking windows and walls that absorb rain!

Same here- love the tugs:-) As to the blocks- that mistake was made all over Europe....here at least there are some trees in front;-)

I was surprised to see more of these tugs from the same company on the River Thames yesterday.
Outside of London there are not so many of those tower blocks in the south but from what I have seen Southampton has more than its fair share.
Thanks for visiting, Gudrun.

Very nicely composed Neil............I really like the symmetry of the three tugs tied up one behind the other and also the white apartment blocks in the background.

Many thanks, Keith. This is so near, yet so far from your stretch of the coast.
This line-up seemed to be asking to be photographed, but those people around me had their lens caps on, so what do I know ;-)

An engaging composition of diagonals and horizontals that displays the tugs, pier, and towers very attractively.

I thought if anyone was going to mention the geometric aspects of this shot, it had to be you! Many thanks for your words, John.
