Bridge and Trestle

Perhaps the last photos I'll take of the former Grand Trunk Railroad train trestle on the East End. The decrepit structure has been this way since before I was born and the southern span is finally slated to be demolished soon. Maybe we'll see a new bridge here someday.

Nautical Yoga

A paddleboard yoga class in session at the East End Beach.

The Black Box

Strolling past the The Black Box on Washington Ave, home to five unique small (literally!) businesses. The flexible 300 square foot units are built out of repurposed shipping containers and can be leased month-to-month.

O'Brion Sreet to the Sea

Looking down O'Brion Street from Marada Adams Park (formerly the site of Adams School).

A Snug Pub

Passing by The Snug, a pub, a 223 Congress Street this evening. It's so nice walking around in the snow when it is around 20 degrees fahrenheit, compared to the colder recent temperatures.

Eastern Cemetery, Jan. 2018

A cold day in the Eastern Cemetery, home of Spirits Alive at the Eastern Cemetery. The cemetery here dates to 1668.

Row Your Boat

A sturdy looking dinghy docked off the East End Beach this evening.

All was quiet in the Eastern Cemetery on a recent afternoon.

From a black and white sort of day along the East End Beach.

Portland Shades of Grey

A colorless view from the East End Beach this past Sunday. I only had to desaturate the original version of this photo a tiny bit to make it completely black and white. 

From a Window Seat

A view towards the Portland Observatory looking through a Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad car. 

Pomroy Rock

I recently realized that this mini island off of the East End Beach has a name per Google maps: Pomroy Rock. 

Sun on the Water

And here is a cell phone snapshot from the same spot, looking towards the setting sun: 

Memorial Day at the Eastern Cemetery

In honor of Memorial Day, here are a few photos around the Eastern Cemetery. The Spirits Alive group was busy yesterday placing flags for the many veterans that are buried here. This cemetery is the resting place for many revolutionary war and war of 1812 soldiers. 

Vertical Garden

A cool looking urban garden off of Waterville Street. I think the scarecrow was a nice touch. 

The Trestle

A photo of the old train trestle taken this morning. Available for purchase at Corey Templeton Photography. 

Mind the Gap

From along the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad on the Eastern Waterfront.
