The former home of Methodist Episcopal congregation in Edmunds, Maine, once looked out over the Lower Bridge across the Dennys River. The bridge disappeared after U.S. 1 was routed a quarter-mile to the east. The church, meanwhile, is being encroached by forest, a reminder of a more populous and more prosperous time. Its square belfry is long gone.
Below, remaining stone abutment of the bridge is seen on the Dennysville side of the river at low tide.
A state ferry conveys autos and passengers along the Fox Islands Thoroughfare as it links North Haven Island and the mainland on one of three daily runs. This shot was taken aboard the historic schooner Louis R. French last summer.

We were passed by this sailboat. It still looks breathtaking and even scary.

Here I am at the keyboard while overlooking Lubec Channel from a rented cabin at West Quoddy Station, a former U.S. Coast Guard lifesaving post. We needed to vacate our home for two days during its renovation, and we settled on this, still in sight of Eastport on the water to the north and yet a world away.

I just missed a shot of two eagles. A week later, with the water higher, I watched two harbor seals at play. Cobscook Bay is less than a mile downstream.
St. Andrews, New Brunswick, is an hour-and-a-half drive from our home, but it does strike us as a Providence, Cape Cod, kind of place in a somewhat more respectable vein. Get away from the tourist strip downtown and you’ll find this at low tide.
The land beyond is Maine, USA.
Our rocky shoreline includes sporadic pocket beaches, too. This one faces tiny Dog Island, shown below.
It’s rather modest, actually, but so classy all the same, befitting the schooner Louis R. French. It was at the top of the ladder from my quarters below.

The distinctive peppermint-stick tower of the West Quoddy lighthouse is viewed from the tip of Roosevelt-Campobello International Park in New Brunswick, Canada. You’re looking at the easternmost point in the continental United States.
