You Say You Want a Revolution

The current view from one of the old scrap yards in Bayside between the Bayside Trail and Somerset Street. The area will go through a revolution of sorts once work begins on the mixed-use Midtown development. The 3.5 acre Midtown development is slated to bring over 400 new (and much needed) residential units to the city as well as additional retail space.

Market Street Morning

The morning light along upper Market Street. The reflection of the light against the fire escapes catches your eye from a distance.

Custom House, November 2015

The historic U.S. Custom House with the warm glow of the early morning sun, viewed from Commercial Street. This photo also features what I assume is Portland's official bird, the seagull.  

Still Standing

The "padlocks of love" are still affixed to this small fence along Commercial Street, between Portland Lobster Company and Long Wharf. Earlier this year, locks were cleared from the famous Pont des Arts bridge in Paris due to structural concerns. So we will see how long the Portland fence stays upright.

November Nights

A waxing crescent moon hanging out above Congress Street last evening.

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.
