The Bay Mist

A view of the Bay Mist, a Casco Bay Lines ferry, from water-level:

Old Port Layers

I often enjoy taking photos that make it appear as if distant objects are basically stacked upon one another. Taking photos like this can almost provide a new perspective of the built environment of Portland's Old Port. 

Near and Far

A small boat passing in front of the Maine State Pier and the Casco Bay Lines ferry terminal. In the background is a cruise ship docked on the other side of the pier. I liked how I captured some movement in the small boat as it passed by. 

Spooky Time

Foliage at the Museum

A view of the Charles Q. Clapp House, which is part of the adjacent Portland Museum of Art. 

Civic Construction

The Portland Pirates hockey team may be playing in Lewiston this year, but work continues on the interior and exterior of the Civic Center. The new entrance along Spring and Center Streets is coming along nicely and at the least is a drastic improvement over what was here before. 

Narrow Streets of Cobblestone

Wharf Street on a quiet Thursday evening:

Return of the Eastland Sign

Nice to see the return of the Eastland sign facing Congress Square atop the soon to open (December 2013) Westin Portland Harborview hotel. You can also see part of the new "Top of the East" restaurant and lounge addition on the top floor from here. I think that the big Eastland sign atop the hotel might confuse some people who are looking for the new Westin hotel, but I'm sure they'll be able to figure it out. 

Autumn in Evergreen Cemetery

A timeless view of Evergreen Cemetery with some fall foliage in the distance. I consider this cemetery a must-see for leaf-peepers who aren't able to leave the city of Portland.

Yacht of the Rising Sun

A view of the "Rising Sun," a boat that was recently docked at Ocean Gateway.  What makes it particularly remarkable/photographable is that it is the "10th largest yacht in the world" and  belongs to billionaire David Geffen. You can read more about this five-story, 82-room ship over here. 

Game Over

Pictured today is the baseball field at Deering Oaks Park on a recent evening. There was nobody left around but the stadium lights were still on and I couldn't resist capturing the sunset in the background.
