Cundy's Harbor Just up the road from yesterday's photo is this harbor scene.
Captain's House This house is on a hill near the harbor in Cundy's Harbor, a small fishing community within the town of Harpswell. The cupola and the location indicate it to be a Captain's House. However it was built as a hotel and today is a Bed and Breakfast. See below for more information. Perched atop the most elevated bluff on the point, 250 feet from the water, this gracious 1862 landmark home affords long views over an authentic, small, working harbor and beyond to ledges, islands, river and bays. From the octagonal cupola crowning our rooftop, the panoramic vista to the Atlantic is stunning. Sparkling water showered with buoys provides a colorful confetti background for watching lobster boats, sailing vessels, seals and shorebirds. The Captain's Watch was built during the Civil War as the "Union Hotel". It later flourished as the "Cliff House" and the "Ocean View House". Recognized by the National Register of Historic Places and the Harpswell Heritage Trust, the eight room original section survives as Maine's "oldest known coastal hotel structure". After its heyday, the inn became a stately private residence until its rebirth as a hospitable bed and breakfast. For the history buff, we have inherited an array of intriguing photos and 'stories' from the days when visitors arrived by schooner, steamer or stage. [captainswatchbandb.com]
Holiday Glow This is sort of the opposite of the last photo being taken from the opposite shore of this pond. The large troll, Roskva, is visible between the lighted trees.
Lighthouse Another Gardens Aglow scene from the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden.
Roskva Thomas Dambo, a Danish artist and recycle activist. He led a team of community and worldwide volunteers to help create our five trolls. Roskva is the heaviest, hardest, and strongest of the trolls. Every day, Roskva climbs towards the sky, and every year she grows taller and wider. If a troll forgets something, they can always ask Roskva—she counts the seasons and remembers everything that happens around her. Giant trolls were a rare subrace of trolls that resulted from the crossbreeding of trolls and hill giants.
Hummingbird This was taken last evening at the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden in Boothbay, Maine. It is their annual holiday Gardens Aglow extravaganza.
Holbrook's Wharf Holbrook's Wharf is in Cundys Harbor, a small community in the town of Harpswell, Maine. This side of the wharf is occupied by a restaurant and the other side is a commercial fishing wharf. It is owned by a local organization, the Holbrook Community Foundation, that is dedicated to preserve it and a general store.
