Reader Photos: May 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Wed, 30 May 2012 00:35:00 +0000

Time for some more reader photos! I am once again impressed by the amount of photo submissions I've received via email and also through the Portland Daily Photo Flickr Group. Since I got multiple submissions from some people, I am keeping it fair and posting one photo from each contributor in this post. I have attached the photographer's name and a link to their website (if applicable) to each image.

Here are some of my favorite photos from a year ago this month. Check out the full May 2011 archives here. If you get bored, here are links to May 2008, 2009, and 2010 for good measure.

Rise and Shine

The skyline and Back Cove during high-tide. I exaggerated the colors for dramatic effect.

A Fine Day in Bayside

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Sun, 20 May 2012 01:19:00 +0000

A beautiful weekend in Portland, Maine. Here are some photos over Bayside:

After some photoshopping. I wonder if they could do something like this for Valentine's Day?

A Respectable Street

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Sat, 19 May 2012 01:56:00 +0000

Good old Congress Street, from Monument Square looking West.

Humble Abode

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Fri, 18 May 2012 01:14:00 +0000

A residential building off of State Street, a short distance from the Casco Bay Bridge. I thought this building and the washed out color effect make the photograph look vaguely British.

Painting in Longfellow Square

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Thu, 17 May 2012 01:40:00 +0000

An artist painting a picture of Longfellow Square. With my photo I was kind of trying to recreate my shot of the square in December.

Prides Corner Drive-In

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Tue, 15 May 2012 23:08:00 +0000

The Prides Corner Drive-In is located in the city of Westbrook, just beyond the Portland border. According to this site, the Prides Corner Drive-In opened back in 1953 and it is one of three drive-in theaters still operating in the Greater Portland area. I am quite critical of our country's car culture, but admit that drive-in's have a certain charm to them.

Portland Boxing Club

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Tue, 15 May 2012 00:10:00 +0000

Here are some photos of the Portland Boxing Club headquarters. This inconspicuous old industrial building is located off of Allen Avenue, behind the Morrill's Corner intersection. I don't know anything about boxing, but if I wanted to learn more about the sport I bet this a good place to learn.

Calvary Cemetery

The sign for the ominously named "Section U."

Peeling Paint

Something a little different. Here's some peeling paint from the side of a building on Pleasant Street:
