West End Window
This type of window, where it sticks out like this, must have a name that I can't remember. Any help?
Also, I am leaving the poll from yesterday evening's post open for today. I'm surprised by the amount of votes already, thanks readers!

Name It
So I'm still thinking about registering a domain for this blog. Here are some ideas, any feedback? My top priority is to take better pictures, but a fancy domain name wouldn't hurt anything. I think I registered portlandmainedailyphoto a few years ago but never did anything with it and let it expire. I'm learning towards PortlandDailyPhoto.com. I've been using that in the blog's header image for quite some time now,.
Public Utilities
A long time ago I posted some snapshots of different manhole covers found in Portland. I came upon this one recently. I wonder if it came from another city? It says "The Bureau of Water Supply." Our local water company is the Portland Water District.
I've never seen one of these opened before. I wonder how often these are used for actual emergencies? I probably wouldn't even think of using one of these during an emergency.

Street & Co.
Maine Restaurant Week is still going strong. I don't see Street & Co. on the list of participating restaurants, but it is a restaurant that is located in Maine and I took the photo this week so I will share it. I was playing around with some tone-mapping on these photos:

A Winter's Day
Looking up the other side of Custom House Wharf:
As requested in the form of a comment on yesterday's post, I have posted a larger-sized version of yesterday's photo to a new page titled 'wallpapers.' The page can be visited by clicking here or the 'wallpaper' link button at the top of the page, right below the banner. You may need to tweak the image slightly to make the resolution appropriate for your screen. Also, just to share this update, I am testing out the photo-selling sites Zenfolio and Smugmug with their free trials. Someday most of the pictures I post here will be available for purchase.

In Like a Lion
This is Custom House Wharf last weekend. It's always a fun spot for photographs in all types of weather.
A P.S.A. for any lobstermen that read this blog:

Every Week is Restaurant Week in Portland
Today's Maine Restaurant Week pick is Gritty McDuff's on Fore Street. Check out the special menu here.
Stay tuned for non-restaurant related photos, because I don't have many more on hand and because I have lots of other photos that still need to be posted.

Maine Restaurant Week 2011
It's time once again for Maine Restaurant Week.
Check out the MRW website for up-to-date information about participating restaurants. In honor of the week, here is a random picture of Sonny's at 83 Exchange Street. They are offering a tasty looking three-course deal for $30 for Maine Restaurant Week.
