The Fish Pier & The Waterfront

Today’s image features the commercial fishing pier and its fleet as seen from the Peirce Island Bridge. As I was out and about this past weekend, I decided to stop at the boat ramp, which is one of my favorite places, and I realized that this view captured so much of what I’ve been writing about recently. The current Gundalow is docked at the left part of the frame, the Memorial Bridge stands tall in the distance (making it easy to imagine its simplified replacement guarding the opening to the port, and the rugged fishing fleet idles after a long morning out at sea.

The Fleet | Portsmouth’s Working Waterfront

If this photo feels a bit warmer to you than the recent snow-laden images, it’s because it was taken on a gorgeously warm summer evening in August. The commercial fish pier looks more like a postcard than a working portion of Portsmouth’s waterfront when it’s sandwiched between the green water and the orange and blue sky at sunset.

Dusk at the Fish Pier

I felt like I’d been neglecting Prescott Park lately so I made a point to head down this past week. I ended up spending nearly all my time on one of the piers…and I didn’t quite mind that I didn’t do much other shooting, the pastel colors of the sky were so interesting. I also love this scene – it seems like there’s always a different array of boats, and I’m drawn to the reflection of the evening lights on the water.

Commercial Fishing Fleet

Portsmouth’s commercial fishing fleet sits docked at the fish pier as seen from Prescott Park. For whatever reason, I can never get enough of these boats…Loved the clouds & the colors in this shot as I was sorting through the archives.

Commercial Fishing Vessel & Tall Ship Gallery

At Portsmouth’s Commercial Fish Pier, there are typically a good amount of boats docked – above two are featured with their colorful hulls. I’m fascinated by the equipment on the ships, most of which I have no idea as to its function – but thanks to Deadliest Catch – I feel like I have somewhat of an idea.

On Monday, after the dust settled from the Tall Ships festival – I went for a walk during lunch. I got another chance to see the beautiful ships docked, without the mayhem of the crowds – and I also appreciated how many boats are typically docked at the Pier…it’s typically full of boats, and when the Tall Ships took their place – it became obvious how many & how big the commercial fishing boats are. On Monday I saw a boat coming in to unload at La Cava’s Wharf – blasting some classic rock & enjoying the sun. It’s great to see the working waterfront continue on.

The ships were temporarily on the side of the Fish Pier opposite the Shipyard instead of their usual spot closer to Prescott Park. Check out a small gallery from the Tall Ships festival in 2010 by clicking HERE.

The Fish Pier & Strawbery Banke in the Fall

Today’s post is dedicated to my very special mother and father. Birthdays usually revolve around people getting gifts or wishing you congrats on being another year older, but I’d like to take the opportunity to thank Mom and Dad for getting together 28 years and 9 months ago today and deciding to have me. Ever since then they have both been nothing but 1,000% supportive, caring, loving, thoughtful, insightful, funny, smart, willing to teach, willing to listen (all of this unconditionally) – and I always joke every year about making a point to thank them for going to such expense to make me – but I truly want them to know how incredible they are and how much it means to me that they’ve been the perfect parents for me in every way. Thanks for the birthday – I love you guys!

Today’s shots are of the Commercial Fish Pier as seen from Prescott Park and Strawbery Banke during the fall with some lovely foliage.
