Maine: Images of the Pine Tree State

Although Maine is the largest of the New England states, it is still relatively small—ranking 39th in area. It remains a state with a low population density, at just about 1.3 million residents, mostly living near the southern coast. From its wooded interior to its rocky shoreline, here are a few glimpses of the landscape of Maine and some of the wildlife and people calling it home.

This photo story is part of Fifty, a collection of images from each of the United States.

The sunsets were great, the fishing, not so much.

those were great.

I had planned to drive to Portland in May, and spend a week doing day trips and eating at local places. Who knows when I'll get to do that.

I have a long time friend that lives in Portland. Me and another long time friend drive up to visit and the three of us go and explore the surrounding areas.Mt Desert Island and anywhere along the coast is beautiful... Next would be the interior but who knows when we will get up there again.. We are no spring chickens and time waits for no man......

I grew up on the coast of Maine and Cape Cod. Haven't been back for a long time and was hoping to travel back to visit relatives this year... I was. So far I've made it to #33.




#24 My brother and our friends used to try and ride our bikes across this bridge. The stench from the pollution was so bad you couldn't make it to the other side. Glad they closed that mill. Not in the picture, to the left of the bridge were three more huge factory complexes, a fabric mill, a huge tannery and a plastics something or other. The point where the the picture was taken from is actually in Brunswick. It's about a mile from Bowdoin College and Nathaniel Hawthorne's house. About half a mile behind this point, kind of to the right is Harriet Beecher Stowe's House, for a time we attended the public school across the street named for H.W. Longfellow. Brunswick has a lot of history.




# 31 Used to skate here. It's about six blocks down the hill from the college and straight down the street is the bridge above.

Thanks for posting great to see these after all these years away.

Edit: The pictures won't post for some reason.
