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 Maine.
Nymphs are more colourful than the adults. Even so, this female is well matched to her surroundings.

Portland Bill Lighthouse in Dorset in the UK, a bright sunny day, I thought the panorama format with the longer exposure allows the Lighthouse to sit in the picture without taking over. Also I like the wave on the left as it adds a bit of interest to the sea.

Seen here is an early morning capture of one of my favorite lighthouses -- the Portland Head Light. This image was captured just shortly after sunrise in Portland Harbor.
The Portland Head Light was built in 1791, and was the first lighthouse constructed in Maine.

"Good Morning Portland" is a blended exposure image that was assembled from 3 bracketed shots, with a differential of 1 stop between images. The blended exposure process is a bit different than traditional HDR, as it brings together the bracket images not with HDR software, but rather using luminosity masks instead. The intent is to create a more natural looking final image, and still pull great detail from both the shadows and highlights.
The resulting HDR image was processed using a combination of ACR and Photoshop (includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Adjust, Clean, Denoise, Glow, and Impression).
The quaint bridge in Portland, Michigan passes over the Grand River. Portland is known as the city of two rivers; they are the Looking Glass River and the Grand River. This bridge is one of the largest (as a two-span example) and most complete examples of a rather ornate bridge plan/design that Groton Bridge and Manufacturing Company of Groton, NY built that remain today. As such it is significant on a national level as a key example of the work of an important bridge company. The bridge has been listed as a Michigan Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
This bridge is a two-span pin connected Pratt through truss.
