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.

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.

the obligatory boat (Maine)

I gave myself away as being not from there because I did take a lot of photos like this. In my defense, I do see a lot more boats sitting on dry and dusty ground than I see boats in actual water. I was there (from the looks of things) to capture the novelty of it.

holding it together

Sometimes you do need half a turnbuckle, a bolt with an old square nut, and some wire to feel secure.
