Shackford Head, our small but glorious state park
A state park right in our small city set upon Moose Island has some marvelous side trails. And to think, the site nearly became a stinky oil refinery. Hats off to citizen action!
Low tide, high tide
This Coast Guard cutter at the Breakwater demonstrates just how much our waters can change in five or six hours.
Boon Island lighthouse
The 135-foot-high lighthouse, the tallest in New England, sits remotely on a treacherous, tiny island seven miles off the coast in York, Maine.
The rocky outcropping was the site of a 1710 shipwreck that left the stranded sailors resorting to cannibalism to survive the winter before their rescue.
The current cylindrical tower was built in 1855 after earlier ones had been washed away.
As one of the most remote lighthouses in New England, it has a wild history.

Almost like a miniature Zen garden.
Alewives migrating upstream
Remember that raging stream a few weeks ago? These river herring known as alewives are less than a foot long and charging against the current to their breeding grounds in lakes upstream.
