In Market Square

In Market Square

This is one of the most recognizable locations in all of Portsmouth, and regardless of how many times I’ve been here, I could sit here for hours on end people watching and enjoying the various scents that waft through the air on a given day from the various restaurants in the area. It is a very very special place – you should come see it sometime!

Market Square | Portsmouth, NH

Summer in the seacoast is a beautiful thing – people come from all over to visit and the energy in the downtown increases significantly.  A trio of kids were playing great music and the late day light in Market Square made for a beautiful scene.

Shadows at The North Church Steeple

The recent swings in temperature and stormy evenings made for good opportunities to catch a lot of moisture in the air.  Since the North Church’s Market Street lighting has been down, it has made for an interesting appearance at night, backlit and with two of its sides in shadow. The added fog caught my eye and made for an interesting mood.

From The Deck of Osogovo

It’s no secret that I am obsessed with freighters that navigate the Piscataqua River.  I had the opportunity to shoot from the deck of Osogovo, which was recently in port and unloading salt at the Granite State Minerals terminal on Market Street.

Christmas in Portsmouth 2013

It’s Christmas in Portsmouth!

The annual tree has been placed and lit for the 2013 Christmas season – with some interesting blueish LED lighting.  A combination of the weather, work commitments and lack of camera plate for my tripod have kept me from getting out to do it justice, but I wanted to share this with those who aren’t in Portsmouth and can’t take a drive/stroll through Market Square to enjoy it for themselves.
