Yesterday showed the promise of a decent sunset and I settled down to wait for it. In the end, despite a hint of colour in the sky it came to nothing and this was the best I had to show.

The tower you can see houses the Royal Navy Submarine Escape Training Tank which remained here after HMS Dolphin (which included the Submarine School), was closed down in 1998. The School was relocated to the West Country, but the Tank remains in use (as part of what is now called Fort Blockhouse).

The Tower overlooks the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour.

Great the way the top of the tower looks as though it is holding up the top of the sky! An unusual and interesting photo.

Wow, that slice of gold is like a knife's edge! Dramatic shot, and really, the usual gorgeous sunset is kind of a cliche by now. Super shot!
