A lush marsh area found during an early morning walk at Wagon Hill Farm, a conservation area in Durham, New Hampshire. Dense fog shrouds the trees in the distance. This area has interesting walking trails that wind through the forests and fields of an old farm property that borders Great Bay.

The Cocheco River, bank-full from recent rains, spills over the dam at Watson Road in Dover, New Hampshire. Early morning mist glows yellow-orange from the rising sun. The dam gatehouse stands solemnly over waters calm enough to reflect images of the weathered brown and gray wood siding and the vibrant green spring foliage of the trees lining the river banks.

Cathedral Ledge is a 700-foot sheer rock cliff in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, just west of North Conway. Puffy cumulus clouds pepper the sky casting huge shadows on the surrounding mountains and lush, green Saco River valley below. A road leads to the top of this state park where you can walk short trails with amazing vistas. This is a very popular site for rock climbers all year-round.

This image was captured at Odiorne Point State Park in Rye, New Hampshire. It was early in the morning on a warm June day. I was walking on the sandy beach area in the northern area of the park looking out toward Little Harbor as the sun was rising. Trees in silhouette usually add interest to early morning scenes – this one didn’t disappoint.
This image of a 1969 Chris-Craft Sportsman antique power boat was taken during the New Hampshire Boat Museum annual vintage wooden boat show, held on the docks in Alton Bay, New Hampshire, a small village at the southern end of Lake Winnipesaukee. This gleaming 22′ boat is amply powered by a 283 Chevy V-8 inboard engine.

One of my favorite places to walk is Peirce Island in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It offers interesting views of the the harbor, including Prescott Park and the Fish Pier with its working boats. This scene shows the fishing boats docked at the pier on an early June day, with the steeple of North Church and the historic Sheafe Warehouse (c. 1740) in the background. The viewpoint is from Four Tree Island, a picnic area connected to Peirce Island by a short pedestrian causeway.

The Wentworth-Coolidge historic site is located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on the shores of Little Harbor. This was the home of Benning Wentworth, the first royal governor of New Hampshire. The Coolidge family owned the property from 1886 to 1954, developing it as a summertime artist community. The Wentworth-Coolidge Commission continues this tradition of sponsoring arts and music events on the site, which includes a short walking trail and is open for house tours.
I’ve taken many photographs of this site, but particularly like the image with the dinghy in the foreground, taken from the Heritage cruise ship operated by Portsmouth Harbor Cruises.
