I like the fire hydrant in the woods picture. It reminds me of a special I saw on the Manhatten Project community the government set up in Nevada or New Mexico. A temporary town was dissolved after WWII and left many things like that fire hydrant in a barren part of the woods.

I wonder what used to be where that photo was shot?

That hydrant is awesome isnt it? There is a sewer grate next to it!! This was the site of a WWII defense area, they took over this island here and that is whats left- pipes for water underground, tunnels underground, towers, it is amazing to see the history here.

It's been more than 30 years since I've been to Portland. I have an old family friend up that way. I need to look him up.

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Great pics, I've always wanted to see the northeast, especially by boat.

Those fish look like a cross between a mullet and a snook. I could freak out a lot of people around here if I could get my hands on one of those

Nice shots. I can almost smell that low tide seaweed smell. I love Maine, and miss it. Will be back someday soon; I need some fried belly clams.

There is no place like the maine coast, i am lucky to have grown up on the ocean here. Those fish are Haddock- with a cod on the right side.

If I could I'd move there June 1 and not come back here to Oct 1. (just need a job)
I loved it there when I went to order my BLM boat almost a year ago.
