Anthem of the Seas

I was among the crowds admiring the enormous "Anthem of the Seas" cruise ship on its most recent visit to town. The ship is 1,139 feet long and has more decks (18) than the tallest building in Portland has floors (Franklin Towers has 16 floors).

Corner Office

Looks like someone is working late in the corner office. Looking up at the Time & Temperature Building at 477 Congress Street.

Dock Fore, September 2016

You have about a week left to check out my photos at Dock Fore (336 Fore St). They are all for sale and would look better hanging on your walls instead of cluttering up my basement!

Bike on Brackett St.

Not the most action-packed photo, but the positioning of this bike in the soft evening light on Brackett Street was enough to make me stop for a few moments.

Puddle Hopping

Can't stroll down Custom House Wharf without taking a photo from this nearly-perpetual puddle. I wonder what a photo from this spot will look like 100 years from now. Perhaps it will all be underwater by then?

Fore & Market, September 2012

Since it is Thursday, let's look back at a photo from a year gone by. This one is from September 2012, at the corner of Fore and Market Streets. Front and center is the Mariner's Church building, a historic church and commercial building built in 1828.

Double Vision

A window at the Maine Historical Society creates this nice reflection of Congress & Brown Streets.

East End Beach, Summer 2016

A tranquil scene near the East End Beach, looking towards Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse in the distance.

Fire Away

One of the historically-important cannons at Fort Allen Park, on Munjoy Hill.

Brackett St. Bicycle

A Thursday glimpse into the past, to Brackett Street circa 2009. I still enjoy photographing random bicycles whenever I can.

September Sunset, West End

Some nice sunset colors in the sky beyond the old Butler School building at the corner of West and Pine Streets.

Harbor Traffic

A local lobster boat heading home while the Norwegian Dawn floats in the background. Take from the end of Custom House Wharf looking towards the State Pier.
