Landscape. is Portsmouth

Ok so a couple of days ago myself and a few freinds decided we would go to Portsmouth to have a look a round, have a look at some of the maritime history there and try and go on the new viewing tower there k own as the spinchter tower.( im guuessing that is how you spell it?, i will double check soon though)!. Anyway i was amazed at how much portsmouth has regenerated itself tinto a main central hub on the coast of britain to attract large amounts of tourists and create new areas of bustling public spaces.

There are a series of new areas in portsmouth to walk along and they have regenereated the town with shops and cafes and large entertainment areas for people to relax, unwind and interact with what is going on around them. And also the introduction of the new viewing ower has helped to attract alot more tourists and public to the area and this is helping in visitors wnating to see more pof what portsmouth hads to offer.

However when first impressions of seeing the famous navy port of portsmouth that holds nelsons ship and has alot of wartime hiostory behind it, i began to think, right ok does this new viewing tower really fit in here with the rest of the landscape or is it going to insult the community because of adding such a gigantic new attraction to the old sea port?, well only time will tell but as for now i see this as being a sucess and it has shown how new landscaping and architecture can be m,ixed in with the old to create more modern architecture for future generations.

Portsmouth is one of the many places that has proved this, and to beleive it its worth seing for yourselfs........
