Finally, back on the ground, and walking around there were a few quirky monuments around, such as this #MagneticMine, the likes of which were used during #WorldWarII.

From this high up, you can see some transformations for the good that are taking place, like this array of #SolarPanels that has been installed. Such collective action is helping to transform the way electricity is generated in the UK. On a sunny day like this, #SolarEnergy can provide more than a third of the power needs of the country, even outstripping #WindEnergy generation.
The lowest observation level of the #SpinnakerTower features a #GlassFloor for those who dare to stand on it and see how high up they’re standing. I must confess to having fear of heights but I did manage to stand in the middle of the glass deck and look down.
The #NavalBase is still active, and here are two of the #UK's new #AircraftCarriers being fitted out.
The platform affords wonderful views the #land and the #sea almost all the way around. Here, for example, you can see a #PassengerFerry bound for the Isle of Wight, which can be seen across the strait (the #Solent). The town on the over side of the bay is #Gosport.
From this vantage point, the back of the #SpinnakerTower can be seen.
And here are a few more views of it from a a bit closer.
The tower is 170 m tall with three #ObservationDecks, the lowest of which is 100 m hight. I have to say that my wife was a little underwhelmed by the structure until, that is, we got up to the first #ObservationPlatform. A clue is that dark rectangle you can see on the underside.
#Portsmouth is famous for its #naval traditions and has a #RoyalNavy base there, which goes back several centuries. Some old naval #ships have been restored and are open to the public, such as #HMSWarrior here.

Proud of my daughter - along with another pupil she was the school photographer for their High School Musical performance yesterday.
She's already doing a photography GCSE from this September coming, and I think she might be asking for a DSLR camera for Xmas.

Yeah. Cameras.
Options:
(1) £2200 for a new Nikon mirrorless that will do very little more than what my Nikon D80 does, which has given 17 years' service in all sorts of demanding situations so far, with no issues at over 43,000 shutter activations.
(b) Or...£63 for a second-hand D80 with only 3000 shots taken (50,000 rated life).
Option (b) accepted. At least for now.

If you love photo shooting in RAW and tinkering with every single possible parameter in your image, you have absolutely ✱zero✱ reason to use Lightroom.
There are several fantastic open-source alternatives, my favorite of which is RawTherapee: https://www.rawtherapee.com/
RT is an absolute beast of features, and it comes with a ton of classic film simulations (+ it offers the abilty to create new ones yourself).
