Please don't ask.
If you're familiar with the wharfs off of Commercial Street you probably know Harbor Fish Market on Custom House Wharf and the restaurant J's Oyster on Portland Pier. They are right next to each other and this is the water between. On most summer afternoons this view is saturated with lobster boats, trawlers and tourists capturing this picturesque venue that just screams forth "Maine: Then Way Life Should Be". This image from yesterday shows the waterway getting pretty iced in.
Life isn't always pretty.
But it's what we have.
Winter along the water's edge: this is home.
looks so cold! but yum, lobster!
ReplyDeleteBrrrrr....that is a cold scene. It's a pretty scene but, it's a cold scene.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is it will pass Birdman, as sure as night and day the seasons will change.. hopefully :)
ReplyDeletebrr, brrr, brrrrr!
ReplyDeleteA spectacular view!
ReplyDeleteBoy it looks cold. You should take a shot from here in comparison for the summer.
ReplyDeleteBrrrrrrrrrrrr
ReplyDeleteWow. This is the real deal.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't so cold in the winter, you wouldn't be able to appreciate it so much in the summer. Let's just hope there is a summer.
ReplyDeleteI'm fed up with this cold but at least we haven't had as much snow to deal with as you have!
ReplyDeleteAt least there's a little open water left. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat's not pretty here?
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful to me, but then I don't have to live in it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ciel. Nice composition.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd say it is a little on the cool side where you are.
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen this view in warmer days...which will come again, sooner or later. This is a great shot, though that's easy to say from the warmth of my house.
ReplyDeleteI like it! We hear up here that you all are having issues about where to put the extra snow...
ReplyDeleteI think that I would prefer the summer scene.
ReplyDeleteIt looks cold there.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a frozen sea . i'd like to see that once in my life , it's so impressive !
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty, but, man, oh man . . . .
