Fiery Sky over Portland Harbor - a photo on Flickriver

Fiery Sky over Portland Harbor

            To capture the essence of Portland, you have to explore the meaning of the word.

I'd like to thank a TV news crew for setting up at Portland Head Light this morning and ruining any chances of getting a good photograph there by shining a ridiculously bright spotlight on the lighthouse. Seriously. I needed to get away from taking the 'easy' location and make images that spoke to something a little more hard to find. 

I've always loved walking around the wharves, but struggle with putting together strong compositions here. Luckily, the sunrise was absolutely brilliant this morning. This gave me the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the humble vessels, variations of which have plied the Atlantic for thousands of years, that make Portland what it is.
