Dawn at Portland Head Light on the shores of Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

 

This was my first visit to this iconic location on the southern Maine coast, but definitely won't be my last. With excellent view points from both the north and south as well as the constantly changing tides, it offers endless composition possibilities.

Who says blue food is unappealing?

  

Driving to Portland, Maine early in the morning I saw the sun rise over the harbor.

The southbound Coast Starlight crosses over the Columbia River on the Oregon Slough Bridge as it works its way towards Portland Union Station. It only has a few more miles of running on BNSF trackage; at PDX it will transfer to UP trackage for the rest of the trip to Los Angeles.

Captured this with three RAW shots at -2..0..+2 EV. Digital blending in Photoshop CS6. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise. Topaz Clarity for additional boost in color and contrast.

I took this photo when we were in Portland this past summer. The clouds were amazing!

Portland is known for many things (unfortunately, it's been mostly negative recently), and one of those things is that Portlanders LOVE their bicycles. This is one of the many events that this city puts on and the enthusiasm is proudly shown here. The Hawthorne Bridge is in the background.

A freshly-painted flared UP SD70M leads an afternoon transfer to Lake Yard over the Portland Terminal near the Pearl District. Starting out as the Northern Pacific Terminal Company in 1882, the Portland Terminal was once jointly owned by NP, UP, and SP and, until the 1980s, rostered a small fleet of Alco switchers.

I really love the rugged Jurassic coastline out at Portland Bill Lighthouse - and I'm not the only one

Yesterday, I was listening to a NPR (National Public Radio) segment in which Steve Inskeep was interviewing the pianist Herbie Hancock. Toward the end of the interview, they discussed an instance when everything seemed to fall into place for Herbie, and the whole band seemed to be in autopilot mode. He said that it was "as if his fingers were doing their own thing.” When asked if he could actually recreate a moment like that, he replied, “I'm not looking to create anything that I did before. I'm looking to create the moment that I'm actually living in at that moment.” For some reason, this stuck in my mind and I kept thinking, isn't this true of photography as well? Isn't that what Bresson called the decisive moment? I am sure I am over thinking this!

Many ships have been sunk off the coast of Portland, Maine. The Portland Head Light stands guard making sure this doesn't happen again.

Taken from Abbotsbury Hill looking towards Portland. I was hoping for a gorgeous sunset but some clouds put an ending to that!!!

Fort Williams Park

Portland, Maine

  

Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The light station sits on a head of land at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into Portland Harbor, which is within Casco Bay in the Gulf of Maine. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in the state of Maine. The light station is automated, and the tower, beacon, and foghorn are maintained by the United States Coast Guard, while the former lighthouse keepers' house is a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park.
