In Maine, everyone who’s not from Maine is “from away”. Quite a blow to my NJ-NYC ego. But once you see the glinting vast miles of coastline, experience the invigorating “warm cold”, look down from a cliff and witness the dozens of boats in a cove resting on the water, and taste the clawed & shelled fresh sea fares, you completely understand why Maine is the only world that matters to its inhabitants.
The etiquette of the townspeople seem to be to wave at strangers, and move along. We followed the the sunny coastline and soaked up the sun. We drove by one art store after another after another after another. We walked the city past art stores, old photo shops, and coffee shops. Nice people, a beautiful environment, great food, and art. What more do you need?

Most of our photos were taken during the cold sunset
Every night, our Mainer friends sat by a wood-burning stove with a glass of wine.

All highways, scenic
The great city of Portland, Old Port section. Due to "The Great Fire", all of these terra cotta buildings are stone.
The colors of old port. Pinks, reds, and accents of teals, blues, and yellows. Art, coffee, art, candy, antique maps, art art art
Leaving Maine, just outside of Portland. A hundred birds say goodbye to those of us from away.
These pictures are awesome! Maine looks like a cool place!
Old phot o shops? How cool. Love the pics…. esp the first two that have green ghosts in them :) Once is lens flare, twice is ghosts!!!!!
