    New Project

    Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse: so old, historic, seeming small; the ship: bold, meteoric, gleaming and tall. (Knox County Regional Airport on the horizon.) [September 27, 2015]

    Not far west of Cushing, actually adjoining town, is Friendship and the Medomak River. Waldoboro is at the top of the image; Bremen/Round Pond is considerably out of the upper left quadrant. HR

    My family goes back to the mid 1800s in town; I only since 1947. Today it's such that one aunt is still there, and two cousins who are brother and sister. Their children and grandchildren, of course, are 2nd and 3rd cousins to me. I've been away from residency there since mid 1960s; so when I...

    Thanks; I'm typing this on iPhone while PC is uploading images for the book. Image files rarely less than 16 MB(unless smaller via a cropped portion) and up to 35-40 MB, it's a slow process here on the island which has no cable for Broadband. BIG images have taken as long as 8-9 minutes. But...

    In the lower right corner of that last picture, but out of the area shown, was once a 40-odd foot sailboat at the float. Funny story: This was a lot of years ago; I was told I should go down to Lyman-Morse and take a look at the sailboat at the float. So I did, at dead low tide so I had to go...

    I'm not sure about courtesy car; however, Kevin Waters, owner of Penobscot Island Air at the airport is about the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He's let me take his vehicle a couple occasions.

    September 27, 2015: in excess of 350 images of Wiscasset, Waldoboro, Friendship, Cushing, Thomaston, Rockland, Rockport, South Thomaston, and Damariscotta. I'm STILL post processing the suckers. If you happen to be in Thomaston, stop in at Fishway Restaurant for excellent food and service. It's...

    Oldest Building?

    The little building by the tracks is probably the oldest occupied structure in Thomaston, Maine. It was the only structure left standing when the Henry Knox mansion was demolished in the early 1900s to make way for the railroad tracks. Major General Henry Knox was America's 1st Secretary of War...

    Seguin Island Light Station

    Located off Phippsburg, Maine. The tramway is the oldest light station tram still in regular operation. Boathouse is at bottom; next building up is the engine house containing the machinery which powers the tram. Slightly up and to the right is the outhouse; not kidding. During winters when the...

    Slightly different view; maybe Red's WAS still open: does look like a line at the lunch stand. But FOR CERTAIN: heavy tourist season was OVER. The Don Davey Memorial Bridge rarely has spaces between vehicles from Memorial Day to just after Labor Day. Wiscasset is one of the worst bumper to...

    There's Sarah's Cafe, on the upside of the RR tracks, in Wiscasset. Directly across the road at right is Red's Eats. However, on September 27, no long line of people -- they're closed for the season.

    Does It Ever Fail?

    - - that twice daily there shall be a low tide? There's low and there's low, but how low can one go? HR [Edit] The location is "somewhere" near the southern border of Maine; not too far from George HW Bush's Walker's Point estate.

    Here's KIWI while on (Right)DW for #25. Let me know when you're coming and we can connect. Lunch at Sarah's Cafe would be nice(and you could view my exhibit). That's U.S. Route 1 down there.

    Mystery At Sea

    The shot was taken in Penobscot Bay, somewhere between the islands of Islesboro, Vinalhaven, and North Haven, which could be a matter of quite a few nautical miles from A to B-C. This was my first Picture Post while trying to maneuver the new PoA Forum software; and I found it somewhat confusing...
