South Street, October 2015

I was photographing these pumpkins on South Street this afternoon when a passerby strolled into the frame. An all-black cat would have been fitting for today, but a black and white mix works too. 

Morning Glow

A recent sunrise, looking northwest beyond Back Cove.

October Rain

From a recent rainy evening along Custom House Wharf.

Old Port Armory

The front entrance of the Portland Regency Hotel & Spa, located in an old National Guard armory building. Per their website, "the neo-classical 'State of Maine Armory' was built in 1895 at a cost of $20,000. At the time, it was considered one of the finest and best-equipped armories in New England."

Ledge Light and Clouds

An interesting blend of clouds behind the Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse in South Portland. 

Pumpkin Season

A selection of little pumpkins at a recent Farmers Market in Deering Oaks Park. 

Evergreen Cemetery, October 2015

Looks like peak foliage time out at Evergreen. There's something about the autumn season that seems to pair well with cemeteries. 

Passing by Pine Street

From a recent evening on Pine Street in the West End. The Percy Inn is located in the Federal-style rowhouse building on the right. 

Birds Over Chestnut Street

Walking down Chestnut Street last evening I noticed a flock of birds flying around the old Chestnut Street church. Every 15 seconds or so they would fly up over the front of the church so I had time to get in position for this angle. The moody clouds helped to complete the photo.

Isa Bistro

Located down on Portland Street, Isa "is a cozy neighborhood bistro serving an eclectic yet seasonally driven menu." It's interesting to see this part of town evolve over time. 

Down by the Schoolyard

A tree still hanging onto a few leaves outside of Waynflete School. Waynflete is a private, coeducational, college preparatory day school that was established in 1898.

Thompson's Point - October 2015

A few shots around Thompson's Point from last week.  It's exciting to see a little bit of progress here as this old industrial area transforms into a vibrant multi-use neighborhood.
