Fantastic colours! -
Looking towards the town of Gosport from the Round Tower beach in Portsmouth (at the Harbour mouth) the Sun is setting putting the old Diving Tower into silhouette. The Isle of Wight and Haslar Hospital can be seen in the background.

Gunwharf is a former naval facility in Portsmouth which has been rebuilt as a shopping and recreational centre. The Spinnaker Tower is an iconic sight along the South Coast and here we see the Sunset silhouetting both the tower and one of the original naval cranes.

Cruise ship Hanseatic Nature is moored alongside HMS Belfast in the Pool of London. Looking downstream in the Sunshine, Tower Bridge can be viewed in this busy river scene. The Hanseatic Nature is in port for 24hrs before sailing to her next destination in France en route ultimately to Seville.

Played to the same rules as Ice Hockey, but on skates, this is an action shot from Mustangs 5-4 victory over Oxford Blue. This was played at Bisley in Surrey, England!

The site of Wroxall Station between Shanklin and Ventnor was closed in 1966 and the railway lifted. All that remains now the bridge carrying Castle Street over the old railway and part of the Station buildings (not seen and behind the photographer).

Under an old bridge on the Red Squirrel Trail, two old “Chairs” that once held rails onto sleeper now rust away in silence.
-
The Red Squirrel Trail is a cycleway and footpath on the Isle of Wight. Between Shanklin and Wroxall the path follows the old railway (which closed in 1966) before diverting away. Sadly the remaining old railway route onto the terminus in Ventnor is largely inaccessible and/or built over.
-
On the Red Squirrel Trail just outside Shanklin, a long disused Fogman’s Hut stands on the approach to Shanklin where the “Distant” Signal would have stood. In foggy weather, the Fogman would place an audible explosive device called a “Detonator” on the rails to warn the Driver of a train they were approaching a “Stop Signal.” This type of regulation ceased on the British railway network many years ago, but there are many of these old huts still standing!

Victoria of Wight is the largest and newest Wightlink vessel on the cross Solent car ferry between Portsmouth Gunwharf and Fishbourne on the Isle o& Wight. She is seen here docking at Fishbourne on a lovely Sunny day on the 11:00 sailing from Portsmouth ready for the 12:20 crossing back.© Tim Penycate

Rain is still evident across the Solent, but all is calm across Sandown Bay looking towards Culver.

Culver Down is a cliff at the Eastern side of the Isle of Wight. Heavy rain over the city of Portsmouth (north of Culver and across the Solent) and sunshine from the Isle of Wight creates a rainbow over the cliff.

The photographer was so keen to get the picture of the Red Admiral that he failed to notice the Honey Bee sharing the experience!

It’s 06:35 and the Sun has just peeped over the English Channel. The view is from Shanklin Chine at Shanklin on the Isle of Wight.

Moving down onto the Esplanade on Shanklin Seafront, the Sun has now climbed higher on a beautiful morning. Sadly the beautiful morning didn’t last as heavy rain and thunder became the prevailing conditions later in the day!

Shortly before Sunrise, the sea of the English Channel looks a beautiful and dramatic calm.
