Several works from PNCA's Children's Art Archive are being included in our Program's Portland Perspectives exhibition. 12 drawings and paintings will be on display during the month of March. This is one of the final round selections.
Portland Head Lighthouse is located in Fort Williams Park, marking the entrance into Portland Harbor, Maine.
Everyone photographs the clock tower. This brick outbuilding beside the platforms is the part of Portland Union Station that does the actual work — express and baggage handling for the 1896 depot, built in the same Romanesque vocabulary of red brick and rough-faced stone banding, crowned by a broad hipped roof of red Mediterranean tile. Shooting from the parking lot rather than the grand entrance is a deliberate choice: it frames the station as a working machine, not a monument. The arched truss of the pedestrian overpass slices diagonally across the upper left, and an Amtrak Superliner sits at the platform beyond — the railroad still doing what the building was made for. Striped awnings shade the upper windows, a domestic touch on an industrial frame. The dramatic, overcast Pacific Northwest sky gives the scene its weight, the kind of brooding cloud cover Portland does so well, while a Japanese maple turning gold and a row of parked cars pull the foreground firmly into the present. Built environment dominates here, but the contrast of eras — heavy masonry, steel overpass, modern sedans — is the real subject. A piece of working infrastructure photographed with affection rather than reverence.
Originally Portland was served by two lighthouses, the lower and upper. Here a view of the lower house can be seen through a cleft in the hill from the cliffs of Wallsend Cove
The Isle of Portland has a real "end of the earth" feel to it. I would thoroughly recommend it to any photographer. As well as two delightful prisons this island hosts many quarries, most now closed, which have given the world Portland stone. Just don't mention the underground mutton!
This is one of an absurd number of photos I took when strolling along a few miles of coast with the wife and kids the other day.
I live on the Devon coast, over twenty miles away. We have a saying; "When you can't see Portland, it's because it's raining. When you can see Portland it's because it's about to rain." Thankfully the rain stayed away all day and we were blessed with these wonderful clouds.
