Between Two

A temporary glimpse of St. Dominic's Church beyond the hustle and bustle of Commercial Street.

A Brick Block

The block of brick buildings on Middle Street between Pearl and Market.

Western Prom Brick

The charming brick buildings on the Western Promenade, closer to the Danforth Street area.

Forest Ave. Brick Alley

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

Brick Wall

Just an alleyway off of Congress Street:

West End Life

A profile view of a house along the Western Promenade. I think this is considered georgian style architecture (let me know if I am wrong, I'd like to know what to call this style). 

Brick on Brick

A collage of bricks seen around downtown Portland. 

Portland on Ice

Ice covering part of the sign on the side of the Portland Police Headquarters on Middle Street. The low temperature for tonight and part of tomorrow is expected to be around 0 degrees (Fahrenheit). 

Four Squares

This window on Pearl Street caught my eye. 

Pumpkin in the Window

A festive window decoration in the Old Port.

State Street Balcony

The sunset of a fine summer day falling upon some historic brick buildings next to Longfellow Square.

A City Of Brick

Brick buildings along Middle Street. 

Unrelated note - I added a couple new photos on the wallpaper page. I am going to try to post a couple new photos there each month. And as always, full resolution copies of all the photos on my blog can be purchased at Corey Templeton Photography. 

Fresh Brick

New-ish brick on a stretch of Middle Street near the new Hampton Inn Hotel.

Of Bricks and Birds

Bricks on Wharf Street:

A friendly bird, likely enjoying Portland's pedestrian and bird-friendly sidewalks and public spaces:

Upon Reflection

Window on the back of 660 Congress Street:

Turned around:

Brick by Brick

This single photo is from the Spring Street/Free Street parking garage next to the Civic Center. The building on the far right is MECA (The Porteous Mitchell & Braun building), the middle light-colored brick is a chimney on the side of the MECA building, and the far left building might be the back of a building that faces Congress Street.

Eat Local: Portland Pie Company

The Portland Pie Company location at 51 York Street:

And next door, Planet Dog headquarters. The retail store is on Marginal Way.

You Are So Brave!

This first photo shows the current exhibit  in the Space Gallery front window. The art is by Seokmee Noh, and you  can learn much more about it and see a close up picture of it here. 

And this photo also has people standing in  front of bricks, waiting  to get into Marcy's Diner on the corner of Free and Oak Streets. I haven't been here yet but I like the location. 

The Brick is Back

I think the side of the Eastland Hotel provides a good backdrop for most any subject.

With a Brick

I was digging around for quotes about bricks and this was the best one I found...

“If a person offends you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick.”
