Inspiring Photo: Back-Road Beauty #13514247

Description

Coastal Maine can be beautiful in the Autumn – The fishing village of Five Islands is on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. You can arrive here by boat or it is accessible by a twisting and turning back-road that is full of character. Older homes are nestled into the tree-lined landscape while churches with tall steeples stand boldly giving this area a real sense of community. This old structure had lots of character – The freshly painted door made me take a second look…… One of the many treasure you can find when you get off from the highways and byways!

GREAT FIND & CAPTURE The Building and that beautiful covered drive.
Acadia was the most scenic spot I've ever been in the Fall but would love to see the rest of Northern NE in the Fall.
