Street fragments in Rockland.

Ogunquit is probably the most resort-themed town of all that we visited in Maine, with the Marginal Way coastal walking path offering the chief attraction. There is also a renowned American Art museum, and an occational eye-catching architectural example.

Finally, a view to the Wiggly Bridge and Steedman Woods in York.
York, Maine
The fog did us no favors on our last morning of the trip, hiding the Nubble Light from us and curtailing the possibility of exploring York Harbor walking paths. As my usual refrain goes, something to come back to in the future…
