Richmond Building, part of the University - and affectionately known among us Architecture students as "The Disneyland Cereal Box":

Spinnaker Tower - Formally known as the Millenium Tower, but the name was changed when it became apparent that the project was going to be 5 years and £10 Million overdue:

Thanks - I'm quite proud of that picture.. ;) There's more, but most of them aren't worthy of ever being seen by anyone or are of the sea.. which is quite nice in itself. I might post them in the appropriate forum later.. :)

Yup - I am :) It was yesterday (I think!) but living 200 miles away meant I couldn't make it..

I visited Portsmouth last week. Loved the place and the natives are very friendly. Hope to get back down there again before the end of summer. Took this pic from Gosport Pier, just next to the marina :cheers:
