Off the Main Highway, In Maine

   While talking with my eldest son, Dwayne, he mentioned a place he and Karen went to run the other day. His comment was that it looked like a good photographic spot that maybe I should take at look at. So here is my trip there.

   Just a few miles out Route 24 from Brunswick, an island sits at the base of a narrow strip of land. Bailey Island, the terminus of Route 24, gave us these views:


Lobster boat ready to go out


Unique bridge, the only one of its type, anywhere. Built on granite blocks, laid on their sides, with spaces between to let the swift running tides through without bothering the bridge. Bridge built in 1928 withstands saltwater and ice floes.



The Island Church built 1885


Even the dandelions were glorious


The main Island harbor, the majority of the lobster boats were already out to sea, working their traps.


A kayakers paradise


Working lobster houses, not just for show


This fellow is not going out today, or anytime soon


Traps in the harbor, waiting

We went out pretty early, and it was a good thing. By afternoon the rains came.

It was one of those picture perfect days, and we were blessed to be there.
