There’s a spot on Portland’s waterfront where the fishing boats unload; seagulls scream and fight about their dinners; and local urchins gather to smoke illicit cigarettes together.

At low tide, you can see every can and bottle thrown off the docks on the muddy bottom.  

But at high tide, and when the seagulls have moved along, and if the street urchins have found another spot to congregate, it’s the most picturesque water-view in town.

Courtney got lucky at her photo shoot, and all of those requirements were met.
