one way

It’s the end of the month, so I figure it’s time to move on from nighttime photos of Portland. I don’t know what I’ll post next. Maybe Portland in the daytime? Or Portland in the fog? Or Portland with daytime fog?

There are so very many possibilities.

in my secret life

There’s just something about a nighttime view of a restaurant full of people…

Also, if you’re in Old Port and in need of a sweet treat, I can definitely vouch for the cookies from Standard Baking. On a cold day, a cookie and a coffee will turn a Regular Afternoon into an Exception Afternoon. Just like that.

shadow puppet

I made two shots of this wall; I didn’t care for the first one because it had a person’s shadow on it.

Turns out, I was wrong and could have stopped with the original image, because it was more interesting.

the on-time departure

I guess my recent frustrations with airline travel (and the fun of lots of delays) showed up when I watched the ferry to Little Diamond Island depart exactly on time. It was an amazing, unfamiliar concept.

It’s just a shame that a ferry from coastal Maine to the plains of Texas is not an actual travel option.

to all gates

In the daylight, I probably wouldn’t have given this place a second look. At night, though…
