The Salt Piles & The Sheraton
Silhouettes of the salt piles and the Sheraton on Market Street beneath a colorful fall sunset.
Cranes at Work
Cranes at work unloading salt onto the Market Street terminal for Granite State Minerals. Soon I’ll be featuring tall red cranes of another kind – the two twin cranes that are helping to dismantle the Memorial Bridge.
Manitowoc Crane in Motion
I’ll never tire of watching the cranes unload materials from the freighters at Granite State Minerals’ Market Street terminal. Sunset adds another element to the process, contributing a rich glow to the crane structure and the sand as it falls out of the crane’s claw.
Portsmouth from Across The Water
I must say, there is a lot that I love about this photograph. How distant the subject feels, yet so intimate because of the vignetting and the soft smoothness of the water….That the scene is warm with the evening sunset’s glow, yet signs of an industrialized location are evident with the power lines and the cranes and salt piles on the horizon. The leading lines of the power lines pass right over hotels of the downtown area and reach towards the waterfront. Lots of great elements….but mostly, I love the colors and the transitions. I hope you enjoy one of these little elements as much as I do.
Memorial Bridge & Harbor Place
As the daylight disappears over the horizon and underneath the Memorial Bridge, the construction cranes at the former Pier II can be seen as work progresses on the new condos being built. It will be interesting to see the structure continue to grow and how it complements the waterfront, replacing the old dilapidated Pier II restaurant. Harbor Place, now an office building, sits on the banks of the Piscataqua River and has a storied past as various uses including a brewery, coal storage and power plant. Check out some cool vintage photos and read more about its past over at SeacoastNH.com.
Today’s shot was taken with a tilt-shift lens rented from BorrowLenses.com.

Portsmouth Naval Shipyard
The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (which is actually located in Kittery, ME) as seen from the Sawtelle Pier at Prescott Park. The clouds dominated the late afternoon as the cloud ceiling reflects off the wind blown water. The shot below features a close up of the massive shipyard cranes.
Sunset over Portsmouth
As I was walking around downtown before picking up a burrito at Dos Amigos, I was snapping off a few shots when I realized the sunset was starting to look rather enticing. I literally ran half the length of the Memorial Bridge in my suit to try and catch what was left of the sunset over Portsmouth’s skyline on September 14th, and was rewarded with a beautiful combination of clouds and sunlight.
Sunset | Portsmouth, NH
The dramatic sunset of July 31st easily ranked as one of the most incredible I’d ever seen. The quick sky change from 10 minutes before left the storm clouds ridiculously illuminated as the sun sank to the horizon.
