Building Boom: May 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Sat, 18 May 2013 21:19:00 +0000

Here are some updates to my last "Building Boom" post from February.

The Bay House condos continue to rise over Middle Street:

The Hyatt Place Portland, seen here from Fore Street, rises (I'm digging the reduced traffic lanes):

Nearby we have the future Courtyard by Marriott on Commercial Street:

It looks like phase one of the Civic Center renovations, the part involving the Free Street entrance are complete.

Now onto phase two, which involves the Free Street and Center Street sides.

The Danforth on High condos are moving right along.

And the Pearl Place Phase II development in Bayside is complete:

Lower Hay Building

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Thu, 16 May 2013 22:58:00 +0000

The H.H. Hay building at the corner of Monument Way and Free Street. The name comes from the business that used to operated out of the building, named H.H. Hay Apothecary. This is the "lower" Hay building, the other being at the top of Free Street.

Yellow Things

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Thu, 16 May 2013 00:49:00 +0000

A classic-looking yellow bicycle parked near a yellow door on Park Street. This was a tough one to capture due to the cars parked along the street and the distance between the bicycle and the yellow door that caught my eye.

Flashback: May 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Wed, 15 May 2013 01:37:00 +0000

Time for a step back in time to May 2012. You can check all of my photos from a year ago here.

Shipping & Receiving

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Fri, 10 May 2013 22:57:00 +0000

These somewhat colorful cargo containers at the Port of Portland's International Marine Terminal on Commercial Street were just waiting to be photographed:

Pink Tulips

These flowers in Portland's Lincoln Park are planted every year as part of a fundraiser for the Maine Cancer Foundation:

Deering Oaks Bridge, Spring

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Thu, 09 May 2013 01:25:00 +0000

The lovely stone bridge in Deering Oaks Park on a spring day. Just out of frame to the right of the photo was the Saturday Portland Farmers Market.

Out in the Streets

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Tue, 07 May 2013 20:48:00 +0000

Photographs with people in them tend to be more interesting and popular than my usual assortment of photos of inanimate objects, so it's nice to see more people out downtown due to the warmer weather.

Congress Street Sidewalk

Exchange Street Sidewalk

Down on the Corner

Rite of Spring

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Thu, 02 May 2013 11:15:00 +0000

It's an annual tradition for local photographers to capture the beauty of the blossoms in front City Hall each spring.

Layers of Portland

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Wed, 01 May 2013 23:58:00 +0000

The clock tower of City Hall peeking between One City Center and One Portland Square (and lots of telephone poles).

Also, check out one of my photos/illustrations in the May 2013 Portland Magazine, on newsstands (do we even have those in Portland?) now. You may recognize this one from a post back in January.

You can also see one of my photos, the sailboat one below, in an ad for the Portland Downtown District in the same magazine:

Spring Upon Munjoy

Tina Marie

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:29:00 +0000

A boat named Tina Marie docked in Portland Harbor. I believe this is Wright's Wharf.

The Longfellow House

noreply@blogger.com (Corey Templeton) — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 14:23:00 +0000

The historic Henry Wadsworth Longfellow House on Congress Street. The house and its garden (behind the building) is open to the public as a museum and is part of the Maine Historical Society.
