Muddy Banks of the Presumpscot

A view above and below the Allen Avenue bridge that crosses the Presumpscot River.

Portland Square Stairs

Some mildly interesting angles around the entrance to One Portland Square:

Dutch's

A quiet scene outside of the new restaurant, Dutch's, at 28 Preble Street. This photo fits in with my odd hobby of photographing bicycles and restaurants with similar color schemes. 

McIntyre Park

Looks like we got a solid inch of snow last night. It's supposed to be in the 50's and 60's the next several days, so at least it will melt quickly. In the meantime, here's another snow photo from this past winter. This is from McIntyre Park, a small city park on Taylor Street in the West End.

Back on the Streets

I always find busy sidewalks to be a good sign that spring and summer is on the way. As someone who lives downtown, you really notice the difference after several months of very quiet (and less photogenic) sidewalks. Pictured below is a flock of people during the April First Friday Art Walk.

Easter Sunset

A view from Sunday evening looking down Franklin Street. A sliver of Franklin Towers is on the left and the The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is on the right.

More Moon

A slightly wider view of Saturday's moon rise, including the Fort Allen Park Gazebo in the foreground. 

Fort & Moon

Last night's full moon rising beyond Fort Gorges and Peaks Island:

Rising Up

A few small flowers spotted last weekend on Fox Street. A nice sign.

Purple Portland

Matching colors in Monument Square:

Faces in the Alley

A glimpse of the portraits pasted onto the wall of the alley connecting Exchange Street and Fox Court.

The Hills Are Alive

A shot from last night overlooking the city. Spring has really sprung on the East side of town!
