From Lubec to Bangor

Yesterday the weather was not that great, all cloudy and rainy, so I spent more of the time in the car driving to Lubec. The Easternmost town in the USA. After having spent the night the day started really foggy.

Every 20 seconds the fog horn sounded. Too bad it wasn’t clear weather though.

Driving down the coastal route the weather finally cleared up a bit. The coast is really rugged and covered with islands, landtongs, harbors and many old fishertowns. And you may encounter some abondoned old rotten fishing trawlers ;)


On the way I suddenly spotted a fox on the road. When I stopped it hid in the shrubbery so I turned off my engine and stayed quiet. After a while it showed itself again and, as soon as it heard my shutter click, it ran off again onto a dirt road. It didn’t seem that scared as it didn’t ran off very far, so I started my car and followed him. As the wind was in my favour, I could sneak up on him and take a good shot of about 3 meters away (clickable). Really cool to see the fox up close! :D

It’s pumpkin season again, so you see a lot of pumpkin stands next to the road and as decoration on houses and fences. Makes me want to make some pumpkin soup :)

Tremont Wharf, another nice lobster fisherman port.

Port in a storm bookstore, Portside, Bernard (Maine).

The bookstore was covered in colorful wooden buoys.
