Tugboat Barge Arrives in Portsmouth
Timing is everything. On my way home, I wanted to see if I could get a glimpse of the sunlight poking through the clouds over the waterfront. It wasn’t meant to be, but I decided to drive under the Memorial Bridge anyway. It was then when I realized the sirens were going off, and the lift span was about to rise…but I couldn’t see any river traffic so I figured it was a routine lift. After a minute or two, this vessel made its way up the river towards the bridge – so I ran onto the deck and watched as it cruised underneath, making its way further up the Piscataqua. I decided to go with an antique look given the nature of the bridge, which has an antique feel and will soon become an ancient relic.

Trees in Prescott Park
The little section of Prescott Park where the fountains are hidden is full of vibrant flowers and wizened trees. Each of these trees has a ridiculous amount of personality, and everytime I walk through this little nook near the waterfront I find myself checking out something new. It’s nice to still have so much color and the opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, before winter starts to take hold on the seacoast.

Textures of The Waterfront
In this early morning shot of The South End from the Peirce Island Bridge, there are a few elements that make this one memorable for me. The subtle ripples of the windswept water and the smooth and wispy clouds in the sky compliment the man made structures that anchor the waterfront.

Sunrise Over The City
One of the things that you see less often here at The Daily Portsmouth is the city from above. Sunrises also show up less often, mostly because I cherish my sleep, but also because it’s rare to fit into my schedule. Today, I’d like you to enjoy both a view from high above Hanover Street with some gorgeous clouds near the horizon at sunrise. The Memorial Bridge looks like it’s been set on fire in the distance, and the High-Hanover parking garage looks as desolate as it was.

Summertime at the Docks
The Memorial Bridge stands tall above the Piscataqua and some boating activity at the docks at Prescott Park. The late day sunlight is crystal clear with some interesting clouds in the sky. In a couple short months (or maybe even weeks), the boats are likely to disappear and the scene will be a bit more desolate. It’s time to enjoy every last bit of warmth and time we get to spend outside as the days shorten.

Summer in Market Square
Hurricane Irene came and went over the weekend without much significant damage inflicted in our neck of the woods. Saturday night brought some rain showers ahead of the storm’s arrival, but that didn’t stop people from getting out to enjoy a night in Market Square.
