Three Bridges

With Portsmouth’s bridges being one of the most talked about items of the past few years, I thought I’d take a moment to feature them from a different angle.  Often – I take for granted that Maine probably has the best view of Portsmouth, from the various shorelines in Kittery. 

I’ve shot the three bridges before, from Peirce Island, but this vantage point from the other side of the river provides a glimpse of the Piscataqua River Bridge (high-level), the Middle Bridge, with the Memorial Bridge in the far distance.  Once the new bridge has been constructed, it will look more like the Middle Bridge’s twin.  The shot isn’t overly dramatic, just a nice peaceful glimpse of the river…so I hope to be back with some more outrageous sky conditions someday.

Sunset from Kittery

The Piscataqua River Bridge is the dominant feature in this image taken from Great Cove Boat Club in Kittery, Maine.  The sunset was a fiery one and the late day blue light just barely illuminates the boats in the foreground as the bridge silhouette stands tall in the distance.

Fishing from Shore

It doesn’t take a boat to be a fisherman.  This gentleman was strolling up and down the shore in Ogunquit, Maine in an effort to catch something.  It was both enjoyable and fascinating to watch, as the sun set on the east coast.  Taken with a 100-300mm older zoom lens, I was trying to get out of my usual pattern of grand landscape shots.  I like the vignetting on the lens from being wide open as I tried to try and freeze the fisherman’s cast.

Sweeping Views of the Coast

The proud owners of these oceanfront homes get to enjoy this magnificent view day in and day out.  We were driving around Ogunquit when we stumbled on this road, which happened to be well positioned to catch the clouds and their reflections in the ocean.  The depth in the shot with the walkways and the fence drew me in immediately, so we absolutely had to pull over for a few quick exposures.

Docked

Some subtle colors amidst the fog at Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, Maine.

On the Rocks

With anything in life, change is constant. While something might be at complete rest, something else is always in perpetual motion. I guess it depends whether you’re the rock or the ocean what your perspective is.

This shot was taken at Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine on the Atlantic coast. I don’t think I’ve ever visited and not been in awe as I watch the ocean do its thing, especially where the waves meet the rocks.

Nubble Lighthouse in the Rain

New England has some iconic lighthouses that dot its coastline.  We’re lucky here in New Hampshire to be close to many of them, including Nubble Lighthouse pictured here.  One of my favorite things to do when I have guests in town is to bring them up to Nubble Light to see the power of the ocean and watch the waves beat up on the island lighthouse and get a good taste of the New England experience. This particular afternoon was pretty dreary, but it didn’t stop us from making the trek and standing out to watch for a good long while.
