A view from Calshot Spit in the Solent Southampton across Southampton Water towards the Esso Berths of the Fawley Refinery. The cruise ship on the horizon is the P and O Cruise Ship Aurora, which at the time was sailing down Southampton Water towards the Solent at the commencement of a cruise. Image captured in August 2018. As can be seen Calshot Spit is a draw for fishermen, ship watchers, families and water sports enthusiasts.
