Portland, Maine - Recently Random

ItsConanOBrien · #1 10-10-2009, 07:59 PM

Hi Everyone,

I haven't posted a photo-thread here in ages and have been slacking on visiting in general. I will try to come around more often...

And here are random photos of Portland, Maine. A lot of them were taken this morning and they were all taken within the last month. I hope the randomness doesn't give anyone a headache...

And something I've been working on for my own pleasure....

Thanks for lookin'!

Nicely done. What a great city.

Nice shots! Portland, ME isn't featured much here. A great looking city.

Nice work! Lots of well-composed shots in this set.

I love Portland

Me too. My wife's from Maine, so I've visited Portland a few times over the years, and each time it's just as good as I remembered it. This pic sums it up - sturdy brick buildings, lively, youthful atmosphere and hugely walkable streets.

Great set - thanks!

I like it. Some of it looks a bit Halifax(ish) to me. Is this where the ferry from Yarmouth NS goes to?

Interesting views!

Probably because this is skyscraperpage.com and it doesn't have a lot of skyscrapers.

Like none.

Portland has a metro population of about 620,000 and it's tallest building is a 16-story residential building that doesn't even eclipse 200 feet.

Wow.

And I thought my city was good at killing skyscrapers.

My most favorite Portland in the world! Great set

Great shots and quite a beautiful city that I would like to see more of on this forum so thanks for posting them. You've composed a lot of great shots there.

Dandy set of pics Conan. And I'd welcome a random thread of Portland anytime. That's a big ship in port, whoa.

btw, is that you who joined my contacts on Flickr (Corey)?

Fun thread and good to have you back.

Are you for real?

This may be the "Skyscraperpage forum", but this section is called "My City Photos." The skyscraper, a city does not make. Never has, and never will.

Outstanding Photos. Gorgeous City.

Thanks everyone!

The Sage: Yep, this is one of the stops for the Cat Ferry from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. It also goes to Bar Harbor, Maine.

Ex-Ithacan: Indeed!

acw007 · #17 10-14-2009, 12:01 AM

Very nice.

edmontonenthusiast · #18 10-14-2009, 12:08 AM

Artistic, to say in a word. You did some cool close ups and angles, I guess telephoto lens was being used?? The smaller sized cities in New England like Providence and Portland interest me, so it was nice to see this tour =).

Wheelingman04 · #19 10-14-2009, 03:41 AM

Great city.

Swinefeld · #20 10-15-2009, 01:14 AM

Very attractive.
