These images of the waterfront were taken almost exactly one year apart.  As you’ve seen recently here, the Memorial Bridge reconstruction continues to gain momentum – but sometimes it’s the context of the progress that we need to take a step back and appreciate.  The same goes for the continued development and re-development in Portsmouth, which I hope to begin to feature in similar comparisons.

Thankfully – this view is always graced with the last rays of sunlight each day on the Kittery shorefront in the distance.  The photo from 2013 has a soft subtle red glow in the background, illuminating the lobstering boats docked in the distance.
