A Glimpse of England ....[Part II]
Welcome to Portsmouth. My UK hometown for the past 5 years.....well since I got here. Portsmouth is smacked right at the bottom centre of England with a rather nice coastal beaches and sea front. There are many historical occurences here. From the day of Napoleon's invasion to WWII with D-Day and the assault on Normandy. It is a mixture of huge residential area with scattered shops and shopping malls, biggest naval base in England and a big Southsea Common.
Well...enough details...lets the pictured do the talking. First off, is the spring and summer season which brings out the best of the scenery and views.
The best place to be is the Seafront.....
In the distance is the South Parade Pier, which have amusement centre and restaurants mostly caters for chavvy kids and old peoples. On the left is the Piramid with indoor swimming pools and a mini water parks for kids. A good weekend hang out area for parents with a bunch of kids.
On the other side, we have underwater aquarium and huge green fields. From the picture, I was standing on the old Southsea Castle dated back to 1544 against foreign invasion. Being so close to France, the frenchies often dropped us a visit. This castle also defended Portsmouth from Napoleon naval ships, with cannons and fortifications.
"Where do you want to go today ?"
"Donut or Ice Cream ? Hmmmmmm...."During the spring and summer seasons, the council people taken quite a task to plant flowers along the seafront and parks. Here are some of the photos I have taken when the flowers were blooming. Girls......say Wahhhhhh.......!!!!!
   
 
 
 
 
 
Sorry for the crooked photos. Technical fault =P . Well this is what I did for my b'day. Such a happy mood that day taking all those pictures. A time worth spending I might say .... =)
During the summer, I would take a walk around town taking pictures of interesting places and have a feel of what Portsmouth is like.
