I chose this picture because it accentuates the meeting of sea and city so well. Portland always has been and always will be a working waterfront. The roots of Portland remain evident in the lobster boats and docks (and yes that is a harbor seal in the middle of the canal). On the right side of the picture are some condos which afford lucky residents a front seat on nature unfolding (good thing because after they pay their monthly mortgage that's probably all they can afford). This is one of my favorite spots in town and one that tourists often miss. It is one block east of J's Oysters, a famous oyster shack off of Commercial Street.
