Thanks, really apreciate that! Loved the new Kings cross, loved the new area but equally loved what i could see of the restored train hall. It definately feels like a train station (albeit a unique one), just in line with modern airport terminals.

Lol i must owe you a few hours of your life back I love taking pictures and I'm really glad someone likes them. The UK always amazes me to the diversity of the cities, town and villages and what is often unkown or taken for granted is amzing and surprising.

Portsmouth


Portmsouth is a major Naval city on the south coast of England. It has a nice mix of archtiecture and while it is the densest city in the UK, it has very distinct areas that feel a world away from each other.

A view of the citys most recent icons the 170m Spinnaker Tower (left) and Gunwharf Tower (right)

A view over 'The Common', a large area at the front of the Island that is used for recreation with pleasure gardens, historic monuments and attractions. Its reason for being however is more bloody, it was intended as a 'killing ground' for any would be invaders, with huge cannons mounted on the hills overlooking the city trained on this area. If you look closely you can see island forts in the water from Napoleonic times.
