Portsmouth NH Bridges and Seagulls
Posted on 22 August 2009
Portsmouth NH is linked to Maine by three bridges, all 3 of which you can see in this picture. The one closest is the ‘downtown bridge’, and the high one in the background is the I-95 bridge. The middle one is the 2 green towers you see sticking up – that’s the Route 1 By-Pass bridge. The downtown bridge and the By-Pass bridge are both drawbridges that are in place to allow the tankers and large ships up the river. In the summer, these go up more frequently than in the winter.
The buildings in this picture are Kittery Maine condos, and quite beautiful condos at that, and with docks. If you look to the left side of this picture, you can see 2 men in the water fishing. When I spotted them, at first I thought it was just a couple of old upright pilings in the water but knew that was an odd place for pilings to be since I’d never seen any there before. Then one of them moved! And I quickly figured out what I was looking at!
I also managed to catch some seagulls (Monika!) in the air as well!
