An array of lobstah buoys on a garage. Each lobstahman uses his own color scheme on the buoy to distinguish his traps from those of other lobstahman. These traps are thrown into and pulled from the water by hand still.
The post office in Winter Harbor. My understanding is that they still don't deliver mail and you have to come get it from the post office. The Winter Harbor Fire Department. Sign when entering Winter Harbor from Prospect Harbor/Corea. Sign near the Stinson family cannery, the last sardine cannery in the US when it was shut down in April 2010. Ellsworth City Hall. |

One last lobstah boat out collecting traps as the sun runs away.
Collection of lobstah traps ready for the next day. Note how far out the tide is at this point. Lobstah boats tied to their piers. They have to tie up further out and take a canoe or dinghy to shore. Lobstah boats tied out. Another view of "low tide." Building 85, where my dad worked while stationed in Maine. It's a secure communications building, so no windows. Looks like something out of a CIA experiment to me. |

Finally, a video I shot with my Droid (also took all the pictures above except the moose crossing pic) that I've uploaded to YouTube of the waves at Schoodic Point.

It does my heart good to see the home land. Cheers, and thanks for the pics!

I'm just a dude that grew up in Brewer, Maine, an hour or so inland from Winter Harbor.
