Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, originally uploaded by Philip Case Cohen.
One of my favorite landmarks in the Seacoast – Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse stands tall at the edge of Fort Constitution in New Castle.

Great Island Common & The Memorial Bridge
The departure of the Memorial Bridge was fun to watch, and certainly a once in a lifetime endeavor. I still can’t get over how funny it seemed to watch a 2 million pound lift span floating out towards the ocean, past Whaleback Lighthouse and the other Seacoast landmarks along the way. I wanted to also be sure to capture some interesting scenes beside the span itself floating away – and this shot from Great Island Common was one that I loved the composition of once I got home to review my shots. Hope you enjoy it too.

Memorial Bridge Lift Span Heads Out to Sea
The Memorial Bridge Lift span has officially left the building (well, the seacoast…)! A stroke of pure timing had me heading down State Street in time to notice a helicopter overhead, and a crowd of people heading towards the waterfront. I decided to investigate – and was rewarded with the scene above. The lift span heading out towards Portsmouth Harbor.
I also decided to head to New Castle so I could see the bridge float past the Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse on the coast, and also past Whaleback out in the harbor. It’s nice to finally have closure on this portion of the project, and not worry about missing timeframes and capturing big moments. I’ve got a few more images featuring the Naval Prison and a better closeup of Whaleback – but until then, enjoy today’s images. Be sure to click them to see them large!

Sunset from Great Island Common
The New Hampshire Coastline enjoys a winter sunset and Great Island Common has a front row seat to the end of the day. The pastel sky and the contrasty silhouetted rocks in the foreground are reason enough to get me back out for more sunsets and attempts to capture some natural beauty.

Wentworth Marina
A classic black and white take on one of the seacoast’s busiest locations on the water – The Wentworth Marina. Next to the Wentworth By The Sea Hotel, this spot has become a favorite place to go for a stroll to enjoy the waterfront and gorgeous sunsets.

Great Island Common and The Sea
Great Island Common is one of New Castle’s gems. It provides opportunities for everyone to enjoy a slice of the oceanfront – and on this particular afternoon, the moody sky and stormy sea was a nice offset to the natural colors of the massive rock formations on the coastline.

The Entrance to The Wentworth By The Sea
A warm, inviting entrance to a grand hotel. The pavers and the covered entrance to the Wentworth By the Sea make guests feel stately and at home as they arrive to check in. The scene takes on a different feel in the evening, more cozy than the clean and stately white lines of the architecture during the day, though it’s elegant in all settings.
