Fort Popham on the Kennebec River, Phippsburg, Maine in autumn. I took this aerial view in 2010. Hunnewell Beach is in the foreground. The view is looking north up the Kennebec River. Atkins Bay is to the left or west of the fort. Cox's Head is in the background to the left or west of the fort. Gilbert's Head is just north and to the right or east of the fort.
Wow...I love seeing the Kennebec River and esp here. It was behind my house where i grew up in Norridgewock and have so many fond memories of it. I am sure it is much cleaner than it was then because when I was a boy they used it to transport pulp wood down it. Thanks for this birdseye view and the memories of this great river.

I love seeing this view again. Reminds me of the views flying up to Rockport from Boston in a small plane.

Algis and Spike, thanks to you both. I've lived here all my life, but to see the river this way is a real treat. I have taken many photos on the beach and from the area of Cox's Head looking south, down the river. But this is my only series of shots looking north and seeing the great expanse of river from the air. Thanks for the rates.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Robin...wish I was there... :)

clayball, jmac and M.C.S., thanks to you all for the recognition. And, yes, the water was that blue. I did not alter the color for that image. Sometimes, the water is green, sometimes, gray. It depends on the light. For some reason, in the fall the water is especially blue and also in the spring (it is outside as I write very blue). Sometimes it's brown, especially when there has been lots of rain up river which brings silt down the river with it.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of a beautiful part of the country. (I'll be in Portland much of next week. Let me know if you would like to meet. And hope the procedure you mentioned on my post goes ok.)

That water! And what appears to be an appreciation for the shoreline!?! I've been in the corner of Maine once, while at a wedding in NH. Must have eaten four lobsters. And it was COLD at the end of August. Whole different world.

A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
ReplyDeleteAm so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
