The World War I Memorial Bridge is a vertical-lift bridge that carries U.S. Route 1 across the Piscataqua River between Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Badger's Island in Kittery, Maine. The current bridge was opened in 2013, replacing a bridge of similar design that existed from 1923 to 2012. A large overhead plaque carried over from the original reads "Memorial to the Sailors and Soldiers of New Hampshire who gave their lives in the World War 1917–1919." The lift span can be fully opened to allow large commercial vessels to pass. During summer, the lift section remains partially elevated every half-hour between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. for about 15 minutes. This allows smaller commercial and recreational boat traffic.—Wikipedia This image was processed as an HDR (High Dynamic Range) composition.
Constructed on top of wooden pilings just feet above the mighty waters of the Piscataqua River on U.S. Route 1 in Kittery, Maine, is Warren’s Lobster House. Warren’s was established in 1940 by Warren “Pete” Wurm. When Warren’s opened it was a tiny six-stool lobster stand. Today Warren’s is a 350-seat restaurant that houses a full-service bakery, a lobster pound capable of holding thousands of pounds of the delicious crustaceans, the Captain’s Treasure Chest Gift Shop, the Lobster Trap Lounge, Pete’s Stateline Sweets Candy Store, the Seacoast’s Finest Salad Bar, and a full-service, open-air deck.—lobsterhouse.com
The North Church of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is a historic Congregational church located in Market Square. In 1854, the current church building was erected by Towle & Foster of Boston. Sited directly across from the Portsmouth Athenæum, it features an Italianate edifice and a steeple visible from most of the city, the Piscataqua River, and communities on its western bank in Maine. Its spire has been referred to as Portsmouth's "landmark of record". The church is home to Portsmouth's United Church of Christ congregation.—Wikipedia This image was processed as an HDR (High Dynamic Range) composition.
