Summer Sails

Sailing past Cushing Island in Casco Bay.

Edit - Here is an alternate take:

Fort Allen Park, Sunset

A summertime sunset behind the USS Portland memorial in Fort Allen Park. You can go here to read about the park's rehabilitation plans that are currently taking place.

Premonition

Rock City

Looking past the breakwater underneath the Casco Bay Bridge. This is the first photo of 2013 that I've added to my "summer" gallery over at Corey Templeton Photography. 

Memorial Day Parade 2013

Here are three photos of the annual Memorial Day Parade in Portland. The parade stretches from Longfellow Square to Monument Square and ends with a ceremony featuring speakers and laying wreaths on the "Our Lady of Victories" monument. 

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. 

Running in Circles

From last weekend, a jogger and her dog on the Back Cove Trail.

Umbrella Weather

Umbrellas on Congress Street. A rainy start to the weekend. 

To the Right (Round II)

As I mentioned on my first attempt at photographing this scene, I wanted to try this shot again without completely overexposing the sky. I think this effort is slightly less interesting overall, although I do like the addition of the moving people in the scene. There were three or four people crossing the street who kind of blend into one disappearing person due to the long exposure.
