Or Lack Thereof…
At the hours I’m normally out with camera and tripod in hand, there is rarely another soul in sight.
Case in point, this photo looking into Market Square in beautiful Portsmouth, NH.
Notice the clock on the steeple, 6:20. And that’s a.m. which is actually a late morning for me.
In a few hours, this picturesque area of Portsmouth will become alive with the hustle and bustle of cars and pedestrians, tourists and locals alike. Thus creating an entirely different atmosphere than the peace of early morning.
The night is brief –
at Fushimi the doors are closed,
at Yodo windows opened. ~Buson
In the Chicago area, it’s rare to ever see a street completely empty, no matter the time of day. I like the time you’re showing. The photo reminds me greatly of Willoughby Hills, Ohio, another lovely town, suburb of Cleveland.

Lovely shot. Great colours!
Thanks Tim!
Portsmouth is a fun place, lots of great old houses too. I like the colors you captured in the sky.
Thank you Peter. Portsmouth is a great place to wander around with a camera, isn’t it.
You captured the dreamy mood of early morning really well in this picture.
Thank you. It was quite peaceful, and the fog that morning made it even more so.
Very nice and thanks for the share…
Thank you John
Great shot! Love the curves and colors and don’t think I’ve ever seen Portsmouth with no people. Then again, I’m not there at 6:00 am. 🙂
Thank you. Yes, about the only time you’ll find Portsmouth empty is at this hour. It’s quite peaceful too.
I remember this street and I was hoping you would publish another pic of it 🙂 It is till life on street – still street life – my favourite 🙂
Thank you Paula. This is one of my favorite street scenes. Now that winter is finally winding down I think I’ll turn my attention to some more scenes like this.
I like the 6:20 am is a late morning to you. Gee whiz what time do you go to bed at night? Beautiful angle in this photo.
Bed? Who goes to bed? 😉 To be honest, I had likely already been out photographing for over an hour before this shot was made. I figure I’ll sleep when I’m dead 🙂
I hear you, take in as much as possible. Doing the same here. 🙂
