The place is the Allyn Street Rangeway, on the shore of the bay, looking toward Blue Hill and Acadia. It was taken on 11/30/18 at 6:25 AM.

I enjoy winter, for many reasons, including the magnificent sunrises I see when I hike down to the bay early in the morning to catch the sunrise.

There was a fairly intense storm on 7/31/2017. When the storm ended, many neighbors on Bayview Street poked their heads out for a good view and observed these rainbows, and shared in the wonder of it all. I think there are pots of gold on both sides of the Bay!

The photo was taken February 20, 2021 on the Hills to Sea Trail near the CMP substation near City Point.  I call the photo "Snowman" and it is a picture of a natural snow formation I found on the ground, on the forest floor.  It is untouched by human hand.

  1. The Tugs

We are always fascinated by the shipyard and the under workings of the various seaworthy vessels. A world unknown to most of us until it is hoisted from the waters.

  1. Near the Boathouse, 2019

I’ve spent many hours (days, weeks?) walking this shore, near the boathouse. 
It always seems to have a new story to tell, at any given moment. Like a town, a city, and definitely Belfast.

I chose this particular photo due to it’s sense of mystery, uncertainty, and ever-changing light. Maybe a storm just passed. Or is coming.

  1. Misty Morning
This was taken early one sunrise, 20 below zero, with an iPhone 5 and Snapseed post production. That is sea smoke in the air that you see around the sunrise.

  1. Taco Night

This photo is Taco Night at High Ridge Farm in South Montville.  To me it represents the beauty, awe and wonder of a Maine barn, which is an iconic sacred space capturing the evening light.  But also it’s a fun intergenerational evening of play and community relaxation featuring local food. June 2021.

  1. A short Commute, Summer 2021

Caption: During the summer of 2021, we lived aboard a borrowed sailboat on a mooring in Belfast Harbor. It wasn’t for fun, really, rather a telltale sign of both a harsh housing market and a Covid-era border restriction that prevented Jonathan from retrieving his boat from Canada. But we did have fun. A short commute is made play on the water. Even if we were rushing in for a cancer appointment or an early morning radio show, even if we were rowing out in the dark or in an argument— the water was strong, subtle a tonic.
