View across Victoria Park, Portsmouth (+PiP)

A beautifully kept park in the heart of Portsmouth, Hampshire. The building in the background is a hotel and, I think, very attractive. I initially thought it was student accommodation.

The window detail in the PiP is not from this building but from another similar one where I could get closer.

A lovely green space with some beautiful trees. I like the building too and the window patterns in the PiP.

They should more often build like this, having the park is a great bonus! The patterns in the PiP are fantastic!

See my reply to Rosa (below) and check out the link. They're really lucky to have such good accommodation.

Three things to like here Keith, a well maintained park and the students hotel but I especially like the PIP, the uniformity of it all is amazing.

Glad you like this one Maurice.......you're very kind.

A great lens buy! My friend Alby (Ajophotog on here) has one and uses it a lot with fantastic results. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your photos taken with it.

I think I've got a photo of the round part of the building Keith. I thought it was very nice. They have a lovely park to look out on! I hope it's not wasted on students! :)

Your main picture is lovely with the pigeons and the round seating picked up very well.
I love the PiP! The shapes and soft toning colours fit so well together. Very well seen!!

Thanks Rosa. There's been a lot of new student apartments built in Portsmouth lately and they all look very attractive. (See the link)

From the outside, the building looks as if students can feel comfortable in it...

A cozy park around a building that reminds me of the hospital where I was born. Today it will be in disuse because children are no longer born in Spain. All the best for you Keith.

Thanks Roger.............yes, the new accommodation is much better than some places available for rent. It's worth the city making an effort, the students bring a lot of money to the local economy!
