The resort was decked out in it’s holiday finest and this photo of the rear of the building highlights the beautiful veranda with it’s lights glowing right before sunset.

Lobster Boats
Lobster Boats This photograph features the working boats moored at the Peirce Island commercial fishing pier in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Prescott Park and the historic Sheafe Warehouse appear across the channel while the Memorial Bridge spans the Piscataqua River behind it. The clouds were nice and puffy this late spring day.
This is a High Dynamic Range (HDR) photograph – several bracketed exposures were combined to yield a single image with greater detail and wider tonal range. An artistic filter was also applied to give it a painterly look. Prints are available from my Etsy shop.

Castle in the Clouds

Built by Tom Plant in 1913, Lucknow Estate is now a popular tourist site that offers fascinating tours, plentiful hiking, and unparalleled views of the lake.
I used an artistic filter to impart a painterly look to the image. Prints are available from my Etsy shop.

Mount Washington Hotel
This photograph of the Mount Washington Hotel highlights the veranda and grounds behind the classic, elegant resort. Just a trace of snow covers the grounds. I applied an artistic filter to the image, which really brings out the signature white siding and red roof. The golden glow of the veranda lights were a nice bonus in this shot taken just before sunset.
Prints are available from my Etsy shop.
