If it was night or perhaps just dusk, this would be an excellent shot:

These are the two figates and the Canadian Navy ship tied up near Big Pink, the US Bancorp tower, and just in front of the tower and above the bows of the ships is the White Stag sign, a stag jumping sign, which at night is lit up – a Portland landmark.

(The stag has a red nose at Christmas time)

And one last view of the Esplanade:

It’s been an interesting walk- thanks for coming along.
