This December photo by Mike Smetzer shows the less than impressive back side of the Sea Cliff House Motel. This motel is one of many aging ocean-front motels along the miles of sandy beach that includes the town of Old Orchard Beach in southern Maine.
Another photo from the mild December we had in 2023. The Sea Cliff House Motel in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

A late-afternoon photo of downtown Knightville (Mill Creek), Maine, by Mike Smetzer. A quiet downtown street is captured, with shops lining one side and a few parked cars visible along the curb. The left side of the street and much of the foreground are shadowed. The right side is in sunlight.
An early-fall photo of #downtown Knightville, #Maine. #Knightville was a village that became part of the city of #SouthPortland.

This late-October photo by Mike Smetzer features a tree along a boardwalk in the foreground. Beyond is the Portland, Maine, skyline. The shot is taken from the South Portland bank of the Fore River at Mill Cove.

This photo by Mike Smetzer shows Trout Brook in South Portland, Maine, with the Greenbelt Walkway on the right.
This shot from October looks down Trout Brook (Mill Creek) in South Portland, Maine. Not a season for much water nor a spot for much color. A peaceful study in browns and greens.

This late-October photo by Mike Smetzer shows the mouth of Trout Brook (Mill Creek) from the bridge at Cottage Road in South Portland, Maine. Trout Brook enters Mill Cove along the Fore River between Knightville and Ferry Village in South Portland. Portland Harbor can be seen across the Fore River on the horizon at left, and Ferry Village can be seen across Mill Cove on the horizon at center and on the right. Casco Bay begins out of shot to the right of the harbor.

This color photo by Mike Smetzer shows Trout Brook entering the mouth of Fore River at Mill Cove. Mill Cove separates Knightville and Ferry Village in South Portland, Maine. Portland Harbor is just to the left of the shot, and Casco Bay is just beyond Ferry Village.

This color photo by Mike Smetzer looks across the mouth of the Saco River from the pier in Camp Ellis, Maine. On the other side are Hills Beach and the South Jetty, with the community of Biddeford Pool in the distance beyond.
This is a color photo of the mouth of the Saco River from the pier in Camp Ellis, Maine. A previous version was in black and white. The harbor was still a lonely scene when this shot was taken in April.

This photo by Mike Smetzer is a seascape of Casco Bay with Bug Light on the far left and a bit of Portland Harbor further back across the Fore River. A deep moodiness is created by the dark blues of the water and the bottoms of the clouds on this mostly cloudy day.
A seascape of Casco Bay with Bug Light and Portland Harbor on the far left. The horizon is a line of land made up of islands and some distant shoreline. The photo was taken from Bug Light Park in South Portland, Maine.

This panoramic black-and-white photo by Mike Smetzer shows a tranquil bay under a mostly dark-and-moody sky. Fort Gorges is behind the sailboats. Spring Point Ledge Light is near the right edge. I think Little Diamond, Great Diamond, and Peaks Islands are in the middle distance. And the Wyman Power Station on Cousins Island is near the middle of the distant horizon.

This photo by Mike Smetzer shows streetcar tracks at Thomas Knight Park. The tracks are headed away from Portland and into the Knightville (Mill Creek) neighborhood of South Portland, Maine. The light-rail tracks are on a section of cobblestone street that appears to stretch into the distance. The street is flanked by rows of trees casting long shadows in the late afternoon. The scene is captured in black and white, emphasizing the contrast between the sun-lit and shaded areas on the ground.
