Visit to the Isle of Wight, October 2017

A selection of photos taken by my wife Lory and I during a 6 day visit to the Isle of Wight in mid-October, 2017. The Isle of Wight is located off the south coast of England and is accessed by passenger and car ferries from the nearby ports of Southampton and Portsmouth.
