A little of the Maine forest

[Ron Morse]

I don' post many pictures, these aren't my fish and I don't know anything about landscapes so don't expect much.

Where I live is in the beginning of a triangle of land with a river on one side and the main road to New Brunswick, Canada on the other side. Its 90 miles to the Canadian border without a single paved road crossing the triangle. Maine is the most heavily forested of the lower 48 states and this is all logging/ forestry country. We went riding some of the logging roads today taking pictures of some of the outlets of the lakes that literally dot the area. We had a great time. I had forgotten that we used to do this all the time.

We saw a few moose, but the camera was in the back of the vehicle so the dogs wouldn't scar it all up. By the time I got the camera the moose were in the woods out of sight.

It had been raining, but stopped and brightened up a little.

Hi,

I am not a specialist about landscapes... but Maine is a place i would like to visit (maybe because of Stephen King's stories ?...) and i found the two last pictures very well done, with quite a "bizarre" atmosphere... Hum, King is not far away here...

Hi Ron,

Thanks for posting these, especially #s 2 and 3 and in particular #3. They remind me in some way of the Cambridgeshire fens where I grew up, a countryside which couldn't decide whether it was land or water. Of course these days it's been tamed (and destroyed by over-draining), but I imagine this is how it would have looked before those pesky Dutch engineers got at it.

Regards,

Stuart

Thanks for looking Cedric.

Actually, Stephen King lives about a 10 minute drive from my house. He is I think, a good person. He has given back to the community in many generous ways. He used to be a school teacher here.

Thanks Stuart.

Man destroys so much for the greater good.
