Its time for the line queue at the classic maple in the Portland Japanese garden. The line queue was not so bad when I got there. I have tried a few different years to get this at its optimum time. I came close this year, but still not quite ripe. I plan to visit again next week to see if its closer to flat-out-crazy. In the mean time, this one should help you get into Fall. Enjoy.
A closer look at Portland Bill Lighthouse.

Portland Canal is a fjord on the border between Alaska and British Columbia, the right side is Alaska and the left is British Columbia. From here it's approximately 155 km or 95 miles to the open waters of the Pacific Ocean. The piles are remnants of a wharves that were here during the areas heyday.
First stop on my trip away this week was Portland Bill Lighthouse.
I first visited here back in October, but the weather then wasn't quite what I was after, the total blue sky didn't really give the place much drama. Today though was a different story, it was quite windy and the rain I'd left behind in Devon was slowly making its way East. The clouds were a lot more dramatic and the wind gave some great movement to the waves, which is what I wanted on my first trip. I only had a short while here so only managed to get one or two shots before I headed off to Poole.
There are so many beautiful pictures of this lighthouse. I really can't compete, but I gave it a shot. I really would like to go back when the sun is setting.
Yep. I went out in 23 degree weather for this. I'm easily amused, no?

It was extremely windy on this trip to Portland, with 40-50mph winds. There was so much spray that it was a case of continually wiping the filter, waiting for what looked like a good wave and then quickly taking a shot! The filter was covered in spray again within seconds. Was a fun and rewarding visit though. This is taken with my back to the Pulpit Rock, for protection from the wind and for safety.

Back when Delaware-Lackawanna ran three times a week to interchange with Norfolk Southern at Slateford Junction or Portland, a trio of ALCO/MLWs pass underneath the Lackawanna Cut-Off bridge over the Delaware River near Slateford Jct. At the time, C636 3642 sported a freshly-applied nose herald, which was sorely needed! You won't find regular freight activity down here these days unfortunately, but at least the Delaware-Lackawanna is still going strong.
Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine was commissioned by George Washington and has been in operation since January, 1791. It is said to be the most photographed lighthouse in North America. This photo was taken on my trip to Maine in June, 2009.
Happy New Year to all my Flickr friends! :-)
One of the most photographed Lighthouses in Maine. This is my take on this awesome location at Sunset.

I had been to, and shot from the Pittock Mansion viewpoint before, but my buddy has not, so we set out to see what we could find. We were hoping for a lot of fog. Nope. There was a bit, but you had to be creative to use it. "Creative," when used by photographers, usually means zoom lens. Here I used my Sigma 150-600 and stitched a panorama from 3 frames. It was so cold up there, but worth it.
Let me know what you think.
