I grew up in a small town called Portland CT. When most people would ask where I grew up and I would tell them, “I grew up in Portland”. The first words out of everyone would be, “oh, Portland Oregon?” he, or she would say “Portland Maine?” No, none of the above and I would say Portland CT...Most people have never heard of Portland CT. Well, enough about me and let me tell you a little about the pictures that I took. I took some photos of buildings that were built of Brownstone, which was mined in Portland CT. Most of Wesleyan College was built from the brownstone that was taken from the Portland Quarries. I hope everyone enjoys the photos...

Portland is a wonderful town, I used to drive through it on my way to a friends house in East Hampton. These buildings always fascinated me - thanks for the history on the brownstone, that's something I never knew.
I don't know what time of day you took the first photo but it had a very interesting feel, almost mysterious.
Thank you!!
Nice doors!
Whats with the clock pictures?
Do try to use your image editing software to edit for light... That means to raise the contrast and the highlight values to make your images more expressive... straight off the camera, most images are not that interesting...
