Maine

Maine is Beautiful, one of the 3 states in the US that I would voluntarily live in. I like the quaintness, the New England appeal, the seafood, the houses, the predominant architecture and its privacy.

This is Maine by way of US1. The coastal route is the way to go because it how one can see the communities. 

 This photo was taken in York, Maine, just further north of Kittery; it was charming and serene but pretty nippy.

 

 The Nubble Lighthouse, an iconic structure in Maine. Seeing it with the Atlantic Sea as the backdrop was well opportune.

 A melancholy scene.

 Capturing this was just as memorable as the scene itself, I decided on the vision of this angle and had to climb sharp rocks high and higher still to get to this point. I loved it and I love this picture. This was in Cape Elizabeth.

For good measure, I present, Bush '41's summer home, also in Kennebunkport.

If there is an ugly part of Maine, I must have missed it; everything I saw was romantic and I was charmed.
