Towers | The New Memorial Bridge

Construction continues at a fast pace on the new Memorial Bridge.  Both towers now stand equally tall, with the current work focused on completing the electrical and mechanical aspects of the construction. In a few months, you’ll likely be walking or driving over the new streamlined structure noticing its many details.

One thing I’ve noticed so far is that the bridge takes on an entirely different look depending on the angle and position you’re looking at it from.  Sometimes I love the appeal of the new structure, and sometimes I truly miss the elegant and curved lines of the old bridge.

The Portsmouth Waterfront After The Storm

After an intense afternoon of thunderstorms, the Portsmouth skyline is sandwiched between beautiful clouds and their reflections in the PIscataqua River. The North Church and the Memorial Bridge are visible in the distance.

Towers | Memorial Bridge

The new Memorial Bridge is nearly complete, anticipated to open in a mere 3 months.  Here is an image I took on a gorgeous morning as the sun rose to the east of the old Memorial’s tower abutments. I’ll miss the curves and the architectural interest of this historic gem.

Richness of Morning Light

The South End glows in the early morning sunlight with rich reds and oranges, giving the historic homes on the waterfront a distinct atmosphere.

Waterfront Vista | From Kittery

A vista of downtown Portsmouth and its historic Ceres Street and Bow Street waterfronts.  The dark and ominous sky made for a moody scene – but didn’t keep a few rays of sunlight from reaching through.

The Middle Bridge

I happened to be in Maine last week, so I decided to stop and check out the view of Portsmouth from a familiar old spot.  While I always love the view towards Portsmouth’s waterfront and the North Church, I decided to shoot something I hadn’t before – the Middle Bridge itself.  With yesterday’s freighter accident with the Harbour Feature coming loose and striking the bridge (as shown below), I’m not so sure I’ll have the opportunity to get back there for this shot anytime soon. I have a never ending appreciation for engineering and our man made structures, and there’s a simple elegance to the bridge and rail pattern beneath the street decking.

Abstract IV | Tugboats

Another installment in my Abstract series.  Rather than clouds, the basis of this image was made with water, sunset and tugboats – a combination I most definitely enjoy.
