Flowers to Go

The contrast of attractive (and I assume, fake) flowers in a dirty old dump truck caught my eye on a recent Munjoy Hill stroll.

Rainy November Evening

A recent rainy evening, looking south over Spring Street in Portland. The lights in the sky are from a plane approaching the Jetport.

A Flower Grows in Bayside

A cheerful mural in Bayside, between Parris and Brattle Streets. Directly behind where I was standing when taking the photo is Fork Food Lab, a community kitchen and tasting room.

November Colors

A bit of color on an otherwise grey day on Munjoy Hill.

Foggy Fall Mornings

It was a nice foggy morning for a waterfront stroll. One must always take the classic photo of Custom House Wharf on a day like this.

Fall Day by the Bay

A portion of the Eastern Waterfront and the George Cleeve statue on a somewhat-grey fall day.

Eastern Prom Benches, Nov. 2016

Benches along the Eastern Promenade, on Munjoy Hill. These benches offer some of the best views in town.

Mash Tun

Passing by the Portland Mash Tun brew pub on Wharf Street on a recent evening. Looks like a cozy spot for this time of year.  

Eastern Promenade Railroad

An engine belonging to the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum chugging along the Eastern Promenade on a recent afternoon.

30

Looking at part of the facade of 30 Deering Street in Portland's Parkside neighborhood. This building is more formally known as the Thomas Brackett Reed House.

Blue Sky and Brick

Blue sky and interesting architecture along Congress Street near Congress Square.

Park Street Vines, Nov. 2016

Park Street is one of my favorite streets in Portland. Today's photo features some interesting looking vines climbing up the row houses and nearby lamppost.

Throwback - Sunday Best

For this week's Thursday throwback, here's one from back in the day - November 2011. Can't pass up a timeless sort of photo opportunity like this.

Moon Over Cumberland Avenue

A wide view of my spot for capturing Monday night's super moon over Cumberland Avenue.

City Hall Supermoon

The actual "supermoon" rising behind City Hall this evening. The moon was so bright I couldn't figure out how to expose it properly without negatively affecting the rest of the photo.

Old Port Moon, November 2016

Another look at the moon over the Old Port on Saturday evening.

Moon over Mariner's Church

Tonight's moon rising beyond the Mariner's Church building on Fore Street. Is everyone ready for the next "supermoon" coming on Monday?

Forest Ave. Brick Alley

A cozy alleyway off of Forest Avenue. Looks like a spot to film a scene in a gritty crime drama.

Gold St. Mural

The new-ish mural along Gold Street in the Old Port, by artist Mike Rich. It provides a neat look into the past from this spot, when ships docked just on the other side of Commercial Street.

El Rayo Taqueria

The new location of El Rayo Taqueria is now open on Free Street. Here's an aerial view of the front entrance on a recent evening.

Pumpkin Eat Pumpkin

This is a week late for Halloween, but I appreciate this pumpkin display on Deering Street enough to share it today.

Vertical Vines

Vines growing up a side of the The Westin Portland Harborview Hotel (formerly the Eastland) off of High Street. How long will it take for the vines to reach the top?

Forest Avenue, Nov. 2016

Some hustle and bustle on Forest Avenue on a recent afternoon. I thought the overhang of the building on the left added an interesting angle to the shot.

Portland Magazine, November 2016

This counts as both a new photo and a Thursday throwback. My photo of the tree lighting in Monument Square from November 2014 fills up the cover of this month's Portland Magazine.

Above Congress Square, October 2016

The view high above Congress Square, from the "Top of the East" at the The Westin Portland Harborview Hotel. As you can see, these were taken earlier in October. It will be interesting to see how the square is further improved in the future.
