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.
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.
Here is a street scape view of Bow Street, to complement the post from earlier this week that depicted the waterside view. There is no shortage of hanging signs on this side of the buildings – prime advertising for the businesses lucky enough to have such a great spot. Only a few more weeks until the newly configured decks will be open for business. Below is another shot of Bow Street taken from 100 Market Street, where you can see the curve of the street.
Today’s post features a glimpse of an alleyway on Ladd Street, found next to the UBS office and its neighbor, a brick building (with a white painted face) that appears to house Moe’s (yes, the famous sandwich Moe’s) HQ in Portsmouth. I love all the bricks nestled in the little alleyway, highlighted by the green door in the distance.
Also, in contrast to the bright morning shot above, here are two very different takes of the North Church from the past week. The first shot was taken during the most snowy part of Tuesday night’s storm, while the second shot was taken on Friday evening – beautiful & simple and complimented by the crescent moon in the night sky.
In keeping with yesterday’s post, here are a couple fun shots from yesterday’s heavy snow storm. Above you can see the reflection of Market Street and the North Church in the glass of the storefront, along with some folks enjoying a stroll in the storm. Below you can see the moody sky after the snow quieted down for the night, as seen from my 2nd story window.
