Market Square at Sunset
This is probably one of the last few evenings where the traffic (pedestrian and vehicular) will be nearly nonexistent in Market Square at 6:45 in the evening. I love how the light peeks over the tops of the buildings along Congress Street to mark the North Church clocktower and the buildings on the opposite side of the street.

Congress Street Corridor
The Congress Street corridor is a great spot to watch the light change during various points of the day. During the winter, the late day sunlight streaks across Congress Street, barely reaching the Breaking New Grounds building in Market Square. In this shot of the mid-afternoon, the North Church and the square enjoy some direct sunlight while the buildings on either side of the street create a claustrophobic view up the hill.

‘Twas the Night Before the Night Before Christmas | (In Market Square)
Portsmouth has been busy with the holidays fast approaching – with hardly a parking space to be found. It’s been nice to see downtown so busy with people from all over shopping, eating, parking, and generally being merry. A very Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy Chanukah & New Year to all. Thanks for tuning in – hope everyone enjoys some quality time with their family and friends.

Congress Street | Decked out for the Holidays
I love that Portsmouth spends a lot of time and energy decorating for the holidays. Wreaths are mounted on all the street lighting, creating appealing tunnels of light at night, and the tree in Market Square is a favorite for many – I know because every time I drive/walk past, there is someone snapping a photo. Happy Holidays to all!

Memories | The Portsmouth Baking Company
The Portsmouth Baking Company will always hold a special place in my heart and stomach. The place was drop dead gorgeous, the food was excellent – and the cupcakes delicious. Thanks to Harvey & Co. for bringing this little spot to Portsmouth along with all its treats. You will be missed. I’m looking forward to hearing about the new venture that makes its way into the former PBC home.

Congress Street Arrows
The elevation change on Congress Street isn’t always noticeable. I usually find myself enjoying the view when I’m heading across the crosswalk at the lower portion of the street at the Fleet Street intersection, and whenever I have my camera I’m sure to capture the moment. I loved the crystal clear blue skies and wispy clouds hanging out over Market Square. The arrows that lead the way for drivers are getting worn out, but I always enjoy when arrows can lead a viewer through a frame of a photo.
