Description
We were in Maine last week, and as we drove through Bucksport, Maine, we noticed an old fort on the other side of the Penobscot River. Of course we had to stop at the fort! They're like magnets for both of us, for different reasons. This is the view looking back across the river at the town.
Is this a quintessential New England town in Autumn, or what???

Wait, you didn't immediately stop, buy a home and move in? You guys are really hard core. Quintessential is a good word to describe this. Beautiful setting and image.

Wait! It snows up there (a lot). No place for us to be when there is a warm swimming pool with our name on it in deep south Texas every winter.
Love this scenic beauty...crisp and clear. Nice to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

Beautiful. New England this time of year is very special & a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there in the winter either...

Fab! No high rise, lots of trees, pretty buildings, water, shame about the snow.

What a lovely little village or town. Wonderful reflections and autumn colors. This reminds me of our Rhine tour ..already more than 2 years ago :-O

So perfect for this time of year! But yeah, it would be buried in snow in a couple months! :-D
What a gorgeous shot, Tara!

Yes, any north New Englander, or anyone who's lived there, knows this scene. It's as New England as it gets. And you caught it with your once more perfect proportions, perfect crop, and beautiful layers of land, buildings, ridge, water, etc.
The structures are pure New England: Several wooden churches, with spires sticking through the trees; the wooden homes; the mill-like looking factory in front; a few plain-faced old warehouse-y buildings (very typical---some may be mills, also common in N.England); the boats; the stretch of water; and the trees and hills engulfing the land in a thick woolly wave. Beautifully captured, with clarity and wonderful light and hue. Boy do I wish I were there. Colors have come late this year, we have just now gotten the full fall array. I wonder if N.England was full when you were there. Heat extends the season. Anyway, I can see the rich reds and crimsons---you saw some of the colors at least. A beautiful shot of an archetypal New England scene...
Tara, I'm at over an hour in your gallery, and I want to get to Bill and maybe one other person today. I want to do your 2 recent poems---but I need time for that, ie, without anything else over me. So I'll be back for them in the next few days. In the meantime, it's a pleasure as always. (I did, I think, 10 pics.) And know that I see everything, almost as it goes up. I just wish I were faster with comments. (It's not just length: I'm a slow writer.) I'll be back... (And that's not a Schwarzenegger joke.)
