Sail Maine

Per their website, Sail Maine "is a non-profit organization formed to support sailing in Maine at the grass-roots, community level." They are located along the Eastern Waterfront at 58 Fore Street, and if you have walked along the Eastern Promenade you may have seen some of their sailboats in the harbor. Here are a few photos from a recent afternoon:

Supermoon!

Upon hearing about the once-a-year supermoon occurring Saturday, I planned ahead to get some photos of it rising over the Portland skyline from across Back Cove. It wasn't quite as super as I anticipated, but it was a treat nonetheless.

Last December

Back in december I embarked a pleasant early morning walk and this morning I felt like editing and sharing the some of those photos. I think black and white fits the mood of the photos well, as  recall it being a foggy but fairly warm day.

Unrelated note - I added a couple new photos on the wallpaper page. I am going to try to post a couple new photos there each month. And as always, full resolution copies of all the photos on my blog can be purchased at Corey Templeton Photography. 

Fore River Industry

The view West from the Casco Bay Bridge. The pier in the foreground is for unloading oil from tankers and in the background is Cassidy Point and Merrill's Marine Terminal.

And since it's not too far from the above photo, here is a photographic update of the new Veteran's Bridge.

Smooth Sailing

Portland's central skyline from South Portland. The reflections from the unusually calm water caught my eye. 

And the view in the opposite direction, of some scenic oil tanks and their reflections.

Cedar Street House

A house and its fence on Cedar Street in the Bayside neighborhood. I really like the colors in this one, which are due to the bright sun setting just out of the frame. 

Sunset Over Parkside

A pretty sunset over Deering Street. (Yes, taken from my apartment).
