Train Only

Downtown Portland is very busy and interesting place. There are a lot of restaurants and a lot of night life. We just had dinner at Lebanese restaurant and were walking back to hotel when I decided to stop for a quick shot. I can’t recall which intersection it is, if someone from read this, you’ll probably recognize the landmarks, the most obvious is the train tracks, and the second giveaway is the “Rock Bottom” restaurant. To see the sign you’ll need to open this image in my photo gallery at much higher resolution – just click on it and it will take you there.

Portland Nights

This was taken from the draw bridge. About five minutes after taking this photo the bridge was opened up for a big barge. I took at few photos of it as well, but so far post processing on it is not up to my liking. There are probably better vantage points over down town Portland, but in my one night short stay I didn’t make there.

In travel book about Portland I read that Rose Garden has photographer dream of downtown Portland and Mountain Hood in the background. The following morning I got up super early and drove up to the Rose Garden. Of course no one was there at such early hour, roses were pretty, but downtown Portland was nowhere insight. Whoever wrote that damn travel book should be fired for misinformation.

Couple month ago we went to Boston for open day at my daughter’s prospective school. Open day was on Monday so we had couple days to look around the area so we decided to drive up to Portland and check it out. We took the coastal roads on the way up, it took a few hours but it was pretty cool to see changing landscape. We only spent maybe couple hours in downtown area, walked a bit, had some beer and took a few pictures. You already saw one of them in “Back streets of Portland” post. Here is another one. It rained, actually snowed n North East couple days prior to this day and coble streets had some water, I thought that mirror like reflection would look cool. You be the judge.

Back Streets of Portland

Just to be clear, this is in Maine Portland, not Oregon. Back side of the fishing shops and small docks. These docks are loaded with crabbing boxes, sounds like a popular type of fishing around here, who knew, haha.
