Right now it’s about 40 and foggy. But we’re expecting some better weather.

Thanks so much, Jane. We had a marvelous month in Maine, and I love revisiting through my photos. I appreciate your comment because we would return off-season again — because of the quiet!

I get the tone of this place, too, and I’m not a Mainer. But I love this scene! The fog rolling in and out creates a place I can’t find in Tennessee where I live. So glad we came on this particular day — gorgeous!

Thanks for your comments, because I feel the same way. Summers are quite hectic, and with few parking spots is hard to negotiate around this little village. We loved our quiet day, and the fog or mist or whatever it was just added to the ambiance!

I agree with you about the enjoyment that comes by traveling off season. We found solace in standing alone on several piers, shores, etc. and just looking off into the distance by ourselves. It was a rare occasion, but one I’d recommend. Hopefully, I’ll write a post on the why people should travel to Maine in October — it may be against current recommendations, but we found much to enjoy!

It really is a town that time forgot. Everything is “old style” when it comes to lobstering. And living, too, it seems. No one is in a hurry. The most exciting part of the day is when the fishermen return to the harbor with a catch. Ah, the life!
