Fall Shopping

Now is a good time to stock up on your pumpkins and seasonal gourds. Here are some on display in front of the Rosemont Market & Bakery on Munjoy Hill.

Ode to the Custom House

These three photos taken earlier this evening showcase one of my favorite buildings, the United States Custom House in Portland's Old Port. It has been a landmark in our city since completion in 1872 and is still in use today as offices for some governmental agencies (although the U.S. Customs department moved out a few years ago). You can read a lot more about the building and its history here.

Another view of the skyline from the Casco Bay Bridge, one of those views that I never tire of:

Oldest Sign

The sign outside of Mathew's Pub on Free Street, the self-proclaimed oldest pub and restaurant in Portland. It's not the type of place I would ever wander into, but I appreciate their signage. 

Snapshots: 10/6/2013

It's been a while since I shared some cellphone snapshots. So here are a few random ones from the past month. You can follow me on instagram as well if you are so inclined.

Cast a Shadow

Today's image was taken during my most recent trip to the top of the Portland Observatory in early September. One of the little things that always catches my eye when I go up at sunset is the shadow that the observatory casts over its immediate surroundings:

City Line

 I enjoying taking photos of the various "city line" signs around town. This particular one on the Casco Bay Bridge isn't the most interesting on it's own, but I thought it was worth a photo when the bridge happened to go up behind it while I was taking some shots on Saturday morning.
