Downtown Southampton

Asymmetrical.

The statue was designed by Philip Brannon and is the work of Benjamin Brain, a stonemason from Shirley. The foundation stone was laid on October 1st, 1860. Richard Andrews (1796-1859) was five times Mayor of Southampton, and the owner of a coach-building business in Above Bar Street. The statue is now much less grand. The pedestal was taken down in 1971, and the Bath Stone has weathered badly. The statue was restored in 2000 and mounted on a new plinth in Portland stone.

Certain parts of Southampton are a little gloomy.

The intriguing composition reminds me of a shoal - hundreds of fish swimming together.

The new fascination.

"Preserving British Aviation Heritage"

A museum which pays tribute to the region's rich aviation history and is home to some of Britain's most iconic aircrafts. It is centered around the important work and breakthroughs in aircraft technology in the first half of the 20th century, which was rapidly accelerated by the two world wars. The small site showcases 18 significant aircrafts, including the legendary Spitfire, which helped defend English skies during the Battle of Britain in the summer and autumn of 1940.

A form of escape.

Azul y Amarillo.

This building housed the offices of the White Star shipping company, owners of the RMS Titanic which sank on April 15th 1912 after striking an iceberg off newfoundland on her maiden voyage.

It was here that hundreds of local people waited for news of their loved ones.

549 Southampton people died in the disaster.

The fascination is anomalous.

Marked by age.

An array of cool colors.

Parts of history woven into modern society.

Can anyone fill the gap?

"Keep an open heart for you never know what the next door that opens might hold within"

This reminds me of a cute little medieval townhouse.

Colossal windows.

Sometimes people just see an old clock tower, but what happens when you take a closer look?

Look up to the sky once in a while you'll never know what you might be missing from down below.
