Along the same stretch of coast as the Pemaquid Point lighthouse I posted the other day, there is a historic settlement, visible only in the ruins that have been partially excavated. After we walked around the grassy stone strewn hollows, which were the location of the old buildings, roped off and explained by signs, we were trying to imagine what life must have been like in the 1700's. I walked over towards the water and gazed over this scene. Without that picturesque building on stilts, the scene would have been perhaps not too different to what met the eyes of the early settlers. The mist was settling over the distant hills across the bay as the shadows lengthened. I would have been tempted to settle there myself.

Yes, I was curious myself and wasn't able to see it until the photo was downloaded and zoomed in on my computer. Funny, eh? Thanks for the nice comment, Ursula. +Ursula Klepper
Thanks +Leonardo Hervacio Arenas
Such beautiful scene you have nicely composed! I had to scroll in to find out that there was a boat with this blue thing inside.
+Ellie Kennard you are very welcome. Great work. Have a wonderful day
Very cool
+Lynn David Newton so true, which was what I intended when I composed the photo. Without the building, looking at a different part of the bay, the scene was also lovely to look at, but would have lacked a focal point and been dull as a photograph.
+Linda Jess a special quality to the air, something for sure, Linda.
Lovely. Of course it's the building that first grabs the eye.
It is a beautiful spot Ellie. There is something about water that really attracts you.
+HQSP Landscape and +Hans-Juergen Werner thank you very much for the comment and the reshare. It's very much appreciated as always.

Beautiful!
+Ciandress Jackson thanks, it's a lovely place, isn't it?
+MARIEL MINI MACRO PHOTO GALLERY not too bad, I don't think, at least it was in a bay, so protected from the worst storms and tempered by the sea, so not as cold as further inland. If you were going to settle in the north, it could have been much worse.
Very cool photo. I was just in Maine last week.
+Shelly Gunderson it really was, Shelly.
=winter?
Me too, looks like a lovely place and view!
