"Call this guy at the Eastland. He wants to do an IPIX from the roof," said Carrie, a colleague who works in Road Runner Business Class.

A short time later, I made contact with Bruce Miller, head of the Eastland Park Hotel's engineering staff. "It's the highest point on the Portland Peninsula," he tells me.

A few years ago, we shot pictures from the top of 477 Congress Street, the Time and Temperature building. It was actually the first IPIX I took for aroundmaine.com. This was a chance to move up the hill and up the street, to get a new look at a different part of town.

Thanks to Bruce and everyone at the Eastland Park Hotel on High Street in Portland, for the chance to see an amazing bird's-eye view of Portland.
