The Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth UK is resplendent in ice blue tonight, perhaps because it is freezing cold. By contrast the lights on the restaurants and bars give a warmer feel, although the wintery look predominates. The golden hour was over: night was taking its grip. I am enjoying the low light capacity of the D750 and the lovely sharp VR of the 24-120 lens handheld, and like the result.

After the dreadful sailing summer last year, this pastel-like September memory might encourage us to hope for a better season. The Isle of Wight is emerging through the high pressure mist (background right). Viewed large - you can smell the sea!

See where this picture was taken. [?]
