A Fall Sunset in The South End
A fall sunset in the South End of Portsmouth. The colors & the layers made this one enjoyable sunset to watch.
The Buoy & The Salt Pile
One of Portsmouth’s defining features is its working waterfront. In this image, a crane and a massive salt pile sit dormant ahead of a busy winter season.
The Moffatt-Ladd House
One of Portsmouth’s oldest structures is the Moffatt-Ladd House on Market Street, which was built in 1763. The building has a beautiful garden hidden behind its Market Street facade, and probably one of the largest gardened open areas in downtown Portsmouth. I love the look of this building, particularly as it is offset and complemented by the modern structure at 100 Market Street just next door. I’ve always believed that our modern structures highlight the character of Portsmouth’s original buildings.
South End Street
The South End of Portsmouth has always had a special place in my heart. Tiny streets, old houses, historic clapboards, charm. It makes me love our dynamic downtown that much more, and appreciate the unchanged wcharacter of this area as well. Lucky for these residents, the city has invested significantly in its infrastructure – repaving and adding brick sidewalks whenever possible.
Tugboats At Rest In Winter
The iconic Moran Towing tugboats sit at rest beneath a colorful sky in winter.
South Street & Vine
The South End of Portsmouth is full of historic homes along the waterfront. This particular part of town has a few commercial buildings, and Sander’s Fish Market and South Street & Vine are located in these colorful buildings at the intersection of Marcy Street and Pleasant Street. The way that the yellow clapboards of South Street & Vine were catching the sunlight was beautiful beneath a somewhat ominous sky.
In A Fog
The New Memorial Bridge
The clock is ticking – and the scheduled opening of the new Memorial Bridge is less than one month away. Monday June 17th marks the day the middle span will be floated in, completing this streamlined path of steel from Portsmouth to Kittery. It’s been so long since I could walk across the decking that I’ve almost forgotten what it’s like…but with the opening on the horizon, I can’t wait to get back out over the Piscataqua River for some new vantage points.
I was most shocked recently when these massive chains showed up hanging in the bridge abutments – and I’ve been told by one of the workers that each link weighs in at a hefty 500 pounds. There are so many little nuances of the bridge that have been interesting to discover over the past year…with the most significant yet to come – the ability to walk and drive to and from Kittery/Portsmouth.
Atlantic Progress | Singapore
There are many different opinions on Portsmouth’s working waterfront, but I for one love the fact that we can enjoy freighters from all over the world right here in town.
In this image, the Atlantic Progress from Singapore sits docked at the Granite State Minerals pier along Portsmouth’s waterfront.
