The reflection of the Memorial Bridge can be seen in the Piscataqua River with some fiery trees appearing behind Harbor Place and some trees in the light of the sunset with some very cool clouds.

A new freighter arrived in town recently, the Jin Qiang of Panama. The ship closely resembles another that I featured not long ago in a shot taken from the Memorial Bridge (see post HERE). With the sand & salt piles lower recently, a few ships were due to arrive to increase the stockpiles as the winter winds down. In the shot above you can see how empty the hull is getting as the vessel is standing tall out of the water. Enjoyed snapping a couple quick shots on my way home to eat lunch today.

Another entry in the series The Doors of Portsmouth. This beautiful yellow home located in the South End features some nice granite steps leading to a cool door with a diamond window. I’m not up to speed on the technical terminology for the architecture, but I know that I enjoy it.
It was so warm out after work on Monday evening that I decided to watch a freighter come up the river and enjoy the sights of the waterfront for a while (and I wasn’t even wearing any gloves). Quite a beautiful night. I was particularly digging the reflection of the Eugenia Moran in the Piscataqua. This 3-exposure composition had a nice long exposure for the third shot so I was able to get some nice tones in the reflective water. The Decks were looking pretty sharp in preparation for their opening next month! More to follow on that later in the week.
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.
