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.

Peninsula Terminal, one of Portlands shortest shortlines switches a string of sulphuric acid tank cars for Eco Services in northwest Portland. Peninsula Terminal predominantly switches within an industrial park comprised of the old Portland Stockyards, but work a few spurs outside of the industrial park where their operations can be seen.
Portland Skyline from the Waterfront at Blue Hour just after Sunset. Morrison bridge to the right and Hawthorne bridge to the left
I don't know if they were security officers or just bikers.. but they said I could hop the railing onto the waterfront, so I quickly collapsed my tripod, slung my camera around my neck and started climbing. Worth the shot.

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
located in Fort Williams park Cape Elizabeth Maine. Portland Head lighthouse is the oldest...and I think the prettiest lighthouse in Maine.
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.
The garden was designed by Professor Takuma Tono, in 1963, one of the most important Japanese landscape architects of his time.
One evening a friend took me in to Portland OR to the Esplanade on the east bank of the Willamette river.. I was learning to make night shots and also trying to learn how to do HDR... This is one of the shots with a bit of work done on it... :-)
Although downtown Portland, Maine is not historic, 2-foot territory, there are some distinct advantages to this location for the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum. Unlike most Maine railroads, this one is definitely not a tree-tunnel. Although only 1.3 miles long, this line is quite scenic, with beautiful views of Portland's harbor, and on hot summer days, the passengers enjoy cool breezes as well. In this frame, the former Bridgton & Saco River #7, a 33-ton, 2-4-4T built in 1913, takes her passenger consist railroad east toward the Cutter Street Crossing, perhaps a quarter mile ahead.

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.
