I photographed this sign a few weeks ago and IwateBuddy complained that he could not see a pointer to Japan. Well, here it is: Sopporo, 4456 miles that-a-way.
The building in the background is one of the oldest buildings in the downtown Portland area. It is called the Pioneer Courthouse. I think it is used as a post office now.
The Portland Breakwater Light, also called Bug Light, was built in 1875 when the Portland breakwater was built out. Designed by Thomas U. Walter, it replaced an earlier wooden structure built in 1855. The new lighthouse was made of curved cast-iron plates whose seams are disguised by six decorative Corinthian columns. Its design was inspired by the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, made well known by engravings.

A logo that I was asked to design recently for the local museum in my hometown of Portland in Dorset (hence the copyright watermark). Not a photograph but taken directly from a stone ammonite on display at the museum. The logo was originally created as a simple graphic device as white on black for letterheads, etc, but I have been playing around with the lighting effects and alpha layers in Photoshop to create bump maps of the shapes, then overlaying areas in colour. Very happy with the result.

This is the upper level of the roadway, which is where the departing passengers enter the building. I guess people have complained about the canopy and how it blocks views, but personally speaking, I love the canopy. Portland International was sort of a dump the first time I visited back in 1999, but it has improved greatly.
Hadlock Field is home to the Portland Sea Dogs, the Eastern League Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Opened in 1994, it has a seating capacity of almost 7,000 and is named after long-time Portland High School baseball coach Edison Hadlock.
After affiliating with the Boston Red Sox in 2003, the Maine Monster, a replica of Fenway Park's the Green Monster, was added to left field. A replica Citgo sign and Coke bottle were also added to make the field look even more like Fenway Park. Previously they were affiliated with the Florida Marlins since becoming an Eastern League expansion team in 1994.
The Portland High School was constructed in 1919-20 to replace the former high school destroyed by fire in 1918. With an addition constructed in 1936, the school meets national register criterion A for housing the entire Portland public school student population from Kindergarten through twelfth grade from 1920 when it was completed until 1953, when the student population could no longer be contained in the single building. In the 1950s two elementary schools were constructed to house the growing Portland school population, and in 1967 the 1919-20 building was converted into the junior high school when a new high school was constructed. In 1969 the auditorium stage ceased to be used, although the gymnasium continued to serve the junior high school students. In 1991 the 1919-20 building was vacated and sold when a newer high school was constructed and the 1967 high school was converted to the middle school. The Portland High School period of significance is 1919 when construction of the building began until 1963 when it ceased to function as the high school building. The Portland High School is also significant under criterion A because the school’s auditorium/gymnasium
during the building’s early years provided the community’s largest gathering space, used not only for graduation ceremonies and other school-related functions, performances, and sporting events but also for local events of all kinds during the building’s first thirty-five years from the early 1920s to around 1956. The Portland High School’s 1936 addition also meets criterion A as an important local Depression-relief project carried out using assistance from the federal Works
Progress Administration (WPA). School-related lectures, concerts, plays, and commencements were primarily conducted at the
Portland Opera House from 1885 until around 1918, because the previous 1881 high school that
burned could not accommodate large gatherings. The 1920 Portland High School’s combined auditorium/gymnasium could seat up to 500 and provided a place for the whole school to meet together for general sessions, announcements, or lectures by visiting speakers, as well as for commencement exercises. The new High School Auditorium also served as an important
meeting place for local events during the building’s first thirty-five years from the early 1920s until around 1956.
The 1936 Portland High School addition is significant under Criterion A for its association with the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The WPA was one of the largest New Deal agencies
developed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to mitigate the effects of the Great Depression. The WPA program created jobs, and paid unemployed workers to carry out public projects such
as schools. The Portland High School addition presents an important record of the federal relief programs administered in small communities throughout Michigan during the Great Depression.
