Coastal Kittery
The view of Kittery from downtown Portsmouth provides a glimpse into waterfront living. Kittery has a combination of working docks along its coastal waters as well as high end condominiums and homes. I love seeing the little lobster buoys and traps still along the coast, reminding us that the waterfront is still a vital working resource for all of us who live around it.

A Bridgeless Waterfront
The waterfront is undergoing a permanent change. The Memorial Bridge continues to look different every day, and this particular afternoon was the first chance I had to take a photo from one of my favorite spots – documenting the disappearance of the bridge’s profile from the quintessential Moran Towing tugboat shot.

Sunrise at Nubble Lighthouse
I’m always one for getting up early to catch the sunrise – and I’m usually happier with the fruits of my labor. This particular morning, the sun and sky decided they didn’t want to put on much of a show, so it’s a lovely muted scene of the iconic Maine lighthouse. When we first arrived, it was cloudy and the sun was on its way up – so I figured we’d have a stunning show of color in the sky, but it was not meant to be. I’m pleased despite this, and happy I got to enjoy a part of the day I usually waste. Starting the day by watching a lighthouse and first light creep over the horizon is a good idea any day.

Winter at The Marina
What a difference a week makes! Last week we were reminded that winter is still officially here with a nice snow storm, which dumped 10 or so inches of snow around the seacoast. This week, we are eyeing temperatures that are predicted to climb into the 60s, a reminder that spring is only around the corner.
My favorite part of winter is the moment when the skies clear and all the trees and fresh snow are still serenely undisturbed – it’s best when this is the morning after the storm and the skies are richly blue. The sky is a bit ominous still in this shot of the Great Cove Boat Club, but it’s better than nothing.

The Great Cove Boat Club
With its spectacular riverfront location, the seacoast of New Hampshire and Maine is choc full of places to moor a boat. I found this great vantage point to see the Great Cove Boat Club on Spinney Creek in Maine. A nice long exposure blurs the lightning fast movement of the Piscataqua River at the end of the day.

A Quiet Afternoon at The Memorial Bridge
Today’s image is a very simple, peaceful image of the Memorial Bridge in its final days. Closed to traffic and standing tall over the Piscataqua River, the bridge enjoys a nice view of the late day sky above. It’s a bit eerie to see that the Kittery side tower already had its rounded cable holders removed, already altering the bridge’s appearance beyond the obvious disappearance of the center span. Once I am able to get a post-worthy shot of the bridge in its current state, I’ll be sure to share with all.
