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.

These cars (with the name of a narrow gauge railroad that operated in Maine between 1908 and 1935) belong to the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum. The museum is not open for the season yet, but their equipment was sitting around anyway.
The Portland Aerial Tram connects the trolley and MAX trains at South Waterfront with the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) campus – it’s a 500’ climb in 3 minutes.
It’s an amazing ride, well worth the $5.65…..

This charming and elegant courtyard and entryway are obscured by a tall fence that incorporates visual barriers that greatly obstruct the view from the sidewalk. I captured this image from between the bars.
For most of this apartment building's history there was no need to separate the courtyard from the sidewalk. Today it is essential to keep out the homeless, the addicted, the mentally ill and the criminal element.
Got bored the other night, and thought I'd have a drive into town to see if I could find anything new and exciting.
As usual, I had to be home at a 'decent' hour, so I could make it to work without so much of a problem the following morning. Uneventfully, I trudged the streets, looking for the 'shot of my dreams.' Oh, you know what I'm talkin' about. You've got it visioned in your head and yet you somehow just can't put it through the viewfinder. That's how this whole night was. Not necessarily a bad thing, this predicament has taught me two things:
A) Learn to really see in your mind what you want to be in the viewfinder
B) Use different lenses, focal lengths, apertures, exposures, ISOs, etc to get what you have in mind. It won't be on the first shot. And good on you if you can ever get it exactly how you imagined at all.
