The reflection of the Memorial Bridge can be seen in the Piscataqua River with some fiery trees appearing behind Harbor Place and some trees in the light of the sunset with some very cool clouds.

Trap Falls | Willard Brook State Forest
It was a beautiful weekend, and while home in Massachusetts for the day on Sunday my Dad and I decided to go see how Trap Falls was looking. This waterfall in Ashby, MA near Willard Brook State Forest is usually comprised of three streams of water coming down the rocks. We timed this visit perfectly, as there was still snow in the area and the recent rains made sure that the falls were much stronger than usual. I had a great time shooting my first waterfall… looking forward to future adventures. Video to follow later today.

The Bow Street Waterfront | Portsmouth, NH
Two views of the Portsmouth Waterfront both depict the buildings of Bow Street earlier this year during the fall. In both shots the former Martingale Wharf building can be seen in between the steel beams of the new structures built up around it. The building has since come down, and is in the process of being rebuilt. I’ve always enjoyed the changing colors of the water and the sky and how the beautiful & varied brick buildings on Bow Street always stand out. In the shot below, you can see the North Church glowing next to the St. John’s tower.
In other news, my camera should be fixed and returned within a week – and I hope everyone survived the insane winds and rain of last night! My basement is a little worse for the wear…

South End Rooftops & Sheafe Warehouse
More shots from the South End at sunset. I love the way the light is grazing rooftops and the newly renovated steeple of the South Ward Meetinghouse aka The Children’s Museum. As I’ve mentioned before, the Sheafe Warehouse is one of those really old structures that I’ve always loved, and that I picture located in town a couple hundred years ago when it was still a young structure. Nothing too exciting about these shots, just beautiful old architecture and some nice afternoon light.

LaCava’s Wharf
In the late afternoon I decided to visit the usual spots before trying to inspire myself to shoot in some less traveled areas. On my way out of town, I decided to check out the late afternoon light in the South End at Prescott Park. On the Peirce Island Road Bridge I saw the sun glinting directly in my direction, which can make for some terrible photos – but being the stubborn person I am, decided to try anyway to see what I could come up with. The shot above is the end result, which I happen to like because of the sun streaks and the muted colors – yet the character of the neighborhood still stands out.
