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!
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.
A blustery late day snow storm made an appearance in this evening shot of Market Street. The steeple and the tree stand lit while Michelle’s on Market Square’s windows let a soft glow out onto the sidewalk.
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.
