Porridge
August 26th, 2008
Used as the entrance to Slade Prison in the title sequence of the 1970s sitcom Porridge with Ronnie Barker. Formerly the gatehouse to St Albans Prison, the building is now used as offices. The interior communal areas of the prison were constructed inside a huge metal tank at Elstree Studios, previously used for underwater filming.

Foureyes
May 26th, 2008
Found this little chap sitting on the window sill. I think it’s a Zebra (jumping) spider, showing two of his four pairs of eyes (and you can just see another one toward the back on the right). It was only around 4mm across.

Spinnaker Tower

Rising 170 metres (557 feet) above Portsmouth harbour, the elegant and sculptural Spinnaker Tower was inspired by the shape of a sail. Building costs totalled just over 35 million pounds. In the first shot below, the black rectangle at the top is the largest glass floor in Europe. More of my Portsmouth photos here.
