I love those moments when you simply try to get your camera out fast enough. Shot through the roof of my car at a red light.
We don't normally get this much snow in Portland, so it has been a nice welcome back gift from our home city! We were downtown to see the Nutcracker, an annual family tradition we missed out on the last three years. These are pretty bad photos from my point-and-shoot.
Tucked away on a quiet hill in Portland, the Portland Japanese Garden is incredibly well-crafted with trees, bushes, and water all carefully placed to create a peaceful park in which to walk through.
With a half days holiday to take I couldn’t think of anywhere else to go but to see my Mum and Dad in Weymouth. As always the camera came along too and as I was in the area, I could not resist the temptation of Portland Bill. The prospect of a half good sunset, with the fluffy white clouds soon turned into a grey blanket of cloud blocking out the sun, these are a few images that I snapped moments before.
Thank you for looking.
White sand and gravel had long been a feature of Japanese gardens. In the Shinto religion, it was used to symbolize purity, and was used around shrines, temples, and palaces. In zen gardens, it represents water, or, like the white space in Japanese paintings, emptiness and distance.
• I had breakfast this morning in the hotel's dining room, overlooking their garden, a very pleasant way to start the day.
• Chef's Omelette: 3 eggs, breakfast potatoes, buttered toast, local jam; choice of three fillings (cheddar, sausage, mushrooms). Delicious, well-prepared, nicely presented.
With a view from the top of Portland Bill looking along Chesil Beach and the Fleet towards Dorset and Devon. I had hoped for a pure sunset shot, but was delayed getting to the top by a very, very slow Mondeo...

A community event for all ages! Hosted on April 4th, 2015, Portland Day offered the local community an opportunity visit our new campus home, the Arlene & Harold Schnitzer Center for Art & Design, and to participate in some fun, free activities. We made robots, did some face painting, and had an awesome time!
Located at the entrance to Portland Inner Harbor in Bug Light Park. The breakwater was built in 1836-38 and extended in 1873. A wooden octagonal lighthouse was built on the breakwater end in 1854 and provided with a 6th order Fresnel lens that had a fixed red light. This was replaced with the present cast iron tower in 1873, which was modeled after an ancient Greek Temple, including Corinthian columns around the tower. The light was electrified in 1934 and discontinued in 1942, when it was hemmed in by large manufacturing buildings built during WWII, and no longer useful. A private non-profit group has restored and maintained the lighthouse and had it relit as a private aid to navigation in 2002
