Fresh Paint

The reassembled and repainted "Portland Co." building along the Eastern Waterfront.

Rails and Beams

Cycling past the rail cars and steel beams (of the new Sun Life Financial building) on the Eastern Waterfront.

Park at Amethyst, September 2020

A few photos of the newly opened Park at Amethyst on the Eastern Waterfront. I think these red swinging benches are going to be popular.

Birch & Brick

An old birch tree soaking up this morning's sun in front of the Portland Company Complex.

Portland Company, Nov. '19

Renovations under way at the old Portland Company Complex.

Some Old, Some New

Where the narrow gauge railroad tracks end on Thames Street. This area has evolved a lot - from a railyard (for full size trains), to empty dirt lots, to its current form which will also evolve in the future.

Trail Days

A busy summer day on the Eastern Promenade Trail.

Harbor Complex

A glimpse of the inner harbor from above the Portland Company Complex.

Last Light

Late afternoon sun shining through a tree along the Eastern Waterfront.

Sea Song

The impressively large "Anthem of the Seas" docked at Ocean Gateway last weekend.

End of the Line

An engine from the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum sitting on the tracks near the Eastern Waterfront.

Portland Company to Ocean Gateway

Looking towards Ocean Gateway through a portion of the old Portland Company Complex on Fore Street.

Eastern Waterfront Tracks

Down by the narrow gauge railroad on the Eastern Waterfront, a place in transition.

Amethyst Lot, January 2017

A present-day view of the Amethyst Lot on the Eastern Waterfront. This former industrial area is owned by the city and may someday blossom into a beautiful park. I'll be sure to document the progress once things start happening here.

Narrow Rails

Narrow gauge railroad boxcars sitting for the winter along the Eastern Waterfront.

Fall Day by the Bay

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

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).

April's Last Sunrise

This Saturday morning sunrise near Sail Maine headquarters on the Eastern Waterfront. Sail Maine is a "community sailing center," which provides "access to the water through community sailing and educational programming."

Other Side

The other side of the brick building with the well-known "Portland Co." painted signage.

Portland Co., November 2015

The reflection of the Portland Co. sign in a puddle along the Eastern Waterfront. Much of this historic industrial complex will be renovated and improved upon in the near future, in alignment with the city's Eastern Waterfront Master Plan.
