I had to go to the Dentist. After I came out I thought I would go for a bit of a lunchtime stroll. A difference between when I go for my Morning walk and lunchtime is there are a lot more people around. For example this chap was at the Falklands Gardens, he was feedingContinue reading “357/366 A lunchtime walk”

Street Photography isn’t just about people, it is also about buildings and shadow. We don’t have buildings of the same grandeur as places like London, Paris or New York, but we do have buildings that are worthy in their own right. I’m not going to say that Gosport is a boring town, it patently isn’t.Continue reading “356/366 Street Photography in a small town”

If you can zoom in to the dogs eyes in this photo, you’ll see that it is giving me a very nervous look, almost wondering what I am up to. The question this relates to is that I have found a way of using street photography, that is pretty. Much as intrusive as I needContinue reading “355/366 Is it cheating?”

Tomorrow, the 1st of August, is the centenary of the turning of the Gosport Cockle Ponds from being just Cockle Ponds, in to being the racing home of the Gosport Model Yacht Club. Turning the ponds from the muddy edged place into the ponds as they are today with the hard standing all the wayContinue reading “353/366 Gosport Model Yacht Club”

I have absolutely no interest in fishing. The Marks in the title isn’t the name of a person; it’s Local Marks, places to go fishing.Continue reading “351/366 Local Marks Fishing”

It seems hardly credible, but here we are with only just over two weeks to go until my 366 project comes to an end. I can almost feel the dawn of the next phase heading towards me. I said the to deliberately put a positive spin on it, because I really don’t see it asContinue reading “350/366 On the Road”

The August edition was loaded with articles associating walks with famous authors. Who doesn’t love Winnie the Pooh and his friends? Have you played Pooh-Sticks? It’s great fun. What would it be to play it off the original bridge in the Hundred Acre Wood. Of Pooh’s friends, Tigger would be the most annoying if itContinue reading “349/366 Country Walking Magazine”

The rather spectacular sight of the Golden Horizon coming in to Portsmouth Harbour, understandably, not under sail although that would be even more spectacular, if not at all practical. The Golden Horizon is the largest sailing cruise ship in the world. An absolute pleasure to see it come in. The timing wasn’t right. I wentContinue reading “348/366 A change of routine”
