After the weather of the last few days, let’s stop and reflect on the fact that April is only 32 days away. The decks will soon be open, and the trees will be back in bloom with blue skies and the return of the green vines. Above, the power lines hang above Ceres Bakery on Penhallow Street and the chimneys of Sheafe Street. Below, a shot of a tree in bloom at Prescott Park…a re-post of one of my favorites from warmer days. Hope everyone is doing well through this weekend and has their power back or has found a way to stay warm.

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Estab. 1800
The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is located in Kittery, Maine and is one of the drivers of the area’s economy, employing thousands (yes, thousands) of local workers [visit the official site for more Facts]. This staple of the regional economy has been in operation since 1800 when the facility’s primary task was constructing the 74-gun warship, the USS Washington. This is a common angle to view the shipyard to those who frequent the dog park, where I learned this weekend a lot of folks like to visit and walk their dogs. This also looks familiar to visitors of the site, as it makes frequent appearances from my shots in Prescott Park.

The Sheafe Warehouse
The Sheafe Warehouse has always intrigued me. It’s old, and it looks it. One of the local art associations does an art show there every year, and I made it a couple years back…maybe I’ll have this shot in the show someday. Anyway, I’ve been trying to get a shot I liked of the building for quite some time now…I think this is the closest I’ve been yet. It’s worth visiting on the waterfront of the Piscataqua any time of day if you’re out for a stroll in Prescott Park.
For some history on the building, head over to SeacoastNH.com, where it talks about the 17th century warehouse as one of “the last large relics of the bustling waterfront back when Portsmouth was a world trade center in the Age of Sail.”
