Spring Point Fog & Clouds, July '17

Thursday throwback to a foggy and cloudy sky surrounding Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse. July 2017.

High Street Colors

Some bright shrubbery along High Street. As soon as I saw the color in the distance I knew I needed to get a photo of it.

Lighthouse Season

A classic view of Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse (and Fort Gorges in the distance), looking through a section of the old Fort Preble. 

South Portland Side

I haven't been over the bridge in a while, here's a couple shots from Spring Point.

Looking into the Past: Bug Light

Haven't shared one of these in a while, this is from the Flickr Meetup on Saturday. Note that the 'before' picture (source) shows that this area wasn't a touristy destination back in the day and even Bug Light wasn't maintained very well. Much has been done to revitalize this area in the last decade(s).

Light on the water

A nice touristy shot of Bug Light in South Portland for today.

Also, I wish I thought of this, a google maps alphabet hunt.

Floating Observatory?

This shot was taken from the Bug Light Park in South Portland, which offers some terrific views of the Portland skyline and surrounding harbor. I've posted many pictures from this location and will surely continue to do so. Here is a similar shot to the one above, showing how the shot was accomplished. I simply lowered my camera to the ground and the observatory in the distance was the only object peeking over the sidewalk.

Last Summer

No, it's not summer yet, but the slightly warmer (50's!) temperatues made my dig through my archives and dig up this photo I took last summer. Taken at Spring Point in South Portland, with Bug Light in the foreground and Eastern Promenade in the distance. I plan on posting pictures taken with a few days of the post date, but will toss in a few pictures from the archives every now and then for variety.
