Got bored and went to Portsmouth to look round the HMS Victory, the HMS Warrior, the Mary Rose and assorted others..
pictures are in my gallery, there's some rather poncy art shots in there, but if you have any desire to see a bigger shot just ask :)

Hope you don't mind me asking, but what camera have you got?
What / how many memory cards did you use?
-
it's a Fuji S700 with a 512MB XD card in it... sampled most things at around 3 megapixel as that's good enough for what I need, putting it up to 12 is a bit excessive :)

I have some fond memories of the Warrior and my summer holidays in Wales,
It use to be mored up near Pembroke Dock in Milford Haven and was used as a floating oil jetty,
We use to see it when we were bazzing the speedboat around in the Cleddau River.
She left Milford Haven in 1979 in a very sorry state.
Great photos Daz.

I went down to Portsmouth back in December for the Christmas Fair
It was a great day out.
I'll get my pictures into my gallery later.
:D

The pointy thing is Portsmouth's millenium tower, which was finished in 2005 and cost eight times as much as it was supposed to, so rather good by council standards.
The ship infront of it is a US "High Speed" cargo ship / mine layer which was at Portsmouth for some R&R and apparently some maintenence (allegedly we built it)

I'll bet your really proud of that tower and the great achievement, just like I'm of the one down the road from me. :roll:

Looks like you enjoyed yourself & that's the main thing
Last time we were down there, it 'precipitated it down' all week :cry:
