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.
Had a great day out in Portland Bill yesterday and the light was just perfect in every way. Made very good use of my K5 with a circular Polerizing filter
A closer look at Portland Bill Lighthouse.
Thank you all for taking the time to view, like and comment on our work, we appreciate the support very much.
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.
The view from Pittock Mansion, in the evening, I know I should have stayed there a bit longer, this was the last photo I took that evening, but I had a flight very early the next morning and was staying at a motel near the airport, and I really had to use the toilet, the ones on site were public and I didn't want to go in them, the last part was too much information perhaps.
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.

An example of cranes used earlier in the 19th century to lower quarried Portland stone to awaiting boats. Portland stone has been used to construct buildings such as St. Pauls, The United Nations headquarters in New York and Somerset House.
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! :-)

The most photographed lighthouse in the U.S., on the coast of Cape Elizabeth, in southern Maine -- October 27, 2017
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.

I took this while wandering around the West End of Portland, Maine. I liked the very neat appearance, the colors, the fence, and the large blooming rose plant. It appears to be a triplex. HFF
Tonight’s after sunset glow over Portland Bill Lighthouse in Dorset was beautiful. I nearly left as it was so cold and the sun took a dive behind heavy clouds half hour before this. I am glad I hung around now. This was a nine minute exposure using a ten stop filter to create the milky water and movement in the clouds.
