looking inside

Home now but I have a few shots I'd still like to share from our week with the family.

I'm standing with my back to the sand and sea, looking into a 'window' in the Martello Tower at Felixstowe Ferry and through a tunnel into a mirror which (I guess) the current owner has installed at the end.

I find on Google that the owner has converted this tower into a residence and wonder if he/she is a lover of selfies?!

Martello Towers were built along the Suffolk coast in the very early 19th century as a defence against Napoleon and this is one of 4 in Felixstowe.

A photo of one here:

Thanks for all the interest on my hummingbird hawk-moth which made it to PP.

I have several reasons to be indebted to 365 and all my lovely friends on here. One of them is the wealth of information I'm learning about my own country through researching it online to construct a text to accompany each shot.

@happypat

Imagine a small window on the outside wall of the Martello Tower. The tunnel leads horizontally inside so I'm at the same level as the mirror. It was David, my brother-in-law, who spotted this.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Great capture and POV. As the advert used to say "It's quicker by tube". which is ironic after the deaths 10 years ago on the tube. FAV from me.

[Richard Hickey]

Incredible picture and perspective. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

@agedrunner

Richard, thanks for all your comments and generous favs on my pix. I do keep looking to see if you have posted after that fab eagle shot.

[Pyrrhula]

A great selfie. Sometimes life feels like this but there `s always a light at the end of the tunnel . Fav. find and capture.

[Karin Hirsch]

I can only agree to Ferry great selfie before reading your explanation I was puzzled how you manage this , very cool

[Rosie Kerr]

The mirror gives a wonderful effect.. it took me a minute to figure this out, even with your explanation. Well spotted by David... Alice in Wonderland is a great analogy!

[Phil Howcroft]
