Rooftops on Bow Street

And today: something a little different.  I’ll get back to some lovely seascape landscapes on Thursday…but I thought I’d mix things up a bit today.  These are the rooftops of some of the condos located on the riverbank of the Piscataqua, next to Harbor Place…as seen from the rooftop perch above the Ale House Inn.

The scene was recently drenched by thunderstorms and ominous skies….so you can se the still wet bricks down below.  I instantly loved this scene – although it was a bit precarious to attempt to capture it with my camera, as it required some leaning out over the building (don’t worry, I was kept safe by a wrought iron fence).  The symmetry plus the incredible distance down to the ground and the interesting rooftop scene that is rarely seen all made for interesting elements to this shot.  I think it’s funny how the heating/air conditioning units on the top of the building appear to be bigger than the front doors down below.

As the Sun Retreats | From the Memorial Bridge

I went for a walk tonight to try out a new wide angle lens.  The quality isn’t the best – so when shooting directly towards the sun you get these intense sun flares.  Sometimes it ruins a shot pretty quickly, but for some reason I was really digging the rich red flare and the sunset with some more subtle processing…it was the first time I’ve caught the sunset on a weeknight in quite a while.  Hope you enjoy!

Memorial Bridge Railing & The Standard Hotel Miami

Today’s post is short and sweet.  Yet another take on Harbor Place from the Memorial Bridge seen above…from the warmer archives of April.  The majestic, yet deteriorating bridge is critical to both the Kittery, ME and the Portsmouth, NH economies and residents of both communities. As sad as it is, the fate of the bridge continues to be unknown as all of the needed funds haven’t yet been set aside for its desperately needed renovations.

Below is a little taste of what I think all of us New Englanders could use in mid-January, a taste of a Miami waterfront resort – poolside.  The shot was taken at The Standard Hotel | Miami (also known as the Lido Spa Hotel), overlooking their gorgeous infinity pool on the oceanfront.  I was lucky enough to spend the weekend in Florida getting some sunshine and remembering what warm weather was like, thanks to a certain special someone.

Wind | From the Mary E. Prescott Pier

I wanted to give everyone a little flavor of what it’s like to be out shooting in the elements and conditions that often lend themselves to making great photographs, so I’ve included a video from that day below.  This late evening on the Mary E. Prescott Pier might look familiar – as I previously posted a similar shot from the same spot, which I think has a great allure between the docks and the bridge.  The intense wind that day was refreshing, and can definitely be seen on the water’s surface.  This post is in honor of fall’s arrival and the approaching New England winter!  Let me know in the comments if you’d be interested in more video footage in the future.

From the Much Discussed Memorial Bridge

Piscataqua River

This HDR was created during a stroll on the Memorial Bridge, the structure constructed from 1920-1923 to honor NH’s World War I Veterans.  Efforts are currently underway to save the bridge from potential demise as renovation costs skyrocket.  It is the vital link between the growing communities of Portsmouth, NH and Kittery, ME.  Harbor Place visible to the left and the cranes of the Portsmouth waterfront to the right.
