Heavy waves so went with the old E-M5, and old kit lens. I and camera got soaked but no damage, just lots of fun and plenty of great photos
This tree is only 6' tall! I got on the ground and shot this through an opening in the foliage around noontime on a clear day. I'd suggest going earlier or later if you can. I didn't have a choice.
I didn't think I was going to manage any photos on this afternoon. I sat waiting in the car in torrential rain and the car shaking from the wind! Eventually it did clear though and the wind and high tide made for some interesting waves. So much spray though! This was taken on the day prior to my last Portland photo. Thanks for viewing.
Portland, Maine U.S.A.
I've been so fascinated with wintertime at the ocean since I've moved to Maine. It's such an adventure to me. Off-season is the best!
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?

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.
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! :-)
B&P's RISI moves 7 locomotives and a big train alongside the Clarion River as it makes its way to Johnsonburg and eventually Salamanca.
Beautiful rocky coastline . If you view L, you can see a cormorant waiting at the rock on the lower right. :-)
Captured in: Cape Elizabeth, ME
Pictured here is an late afternoon capture of what is one of my favorite East Coast lighthouse -- the Portland Head Light.
The Portland Head Light was constructed back in 1791, making it the oldest lighthouse in Maine. The light sits atop some rocky cliffs at the head of Portland Harbor, and is still in use today.

"Portland Head Light" is a blended HDR image constructed from 3 separate shots, with a differential of 2 stops between images.
The resulting HDR image was processed using a combination of ACR, Luminosity Masks, and Photoshop (includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Adjust, Clean, Denoise, and Glow).
Conrail’s Bangor & Portland Subdivision Bangor Local switches a few cars in the small yard just south of Portland, Pennsylvania. Two former Erie GP7’s are based in Bangor at this time.
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.
