Sunshine Challenge Prompt 1

Hades.

So, death and the underworld?

Maine Day 1

I'd taken an overnight flight to Boston. As I said in my previous post, it was a rocky flight. Using air travel to get away from an historic atmospheric event means serious turbulence.

My connection to Portland was on a on smol plane. How smol?



Fortunately, it was not the smallest plane I've been on so I was pretty chill about it. I was just 'oh hey, two propellers instead of one!' Though the two little kids on the flight did not see it the same way. One kid was having a kicking, screaming meltdown behind the pilot's seat and at one point was kicking the pilot's chair. Also, it was raining pretty solidly and we were mostly in the cloud layer, so I didn't get to sneak in any flightseeing shots. Still, it was pretty cool to be on the plane.

( Then came more trip complications... )

Maine Days 2 & 3

Lobster traps at the harbor. These traps didn't move the entire time ... I wonder if they are just left there for people to take that classic Maine shot of sea gulls on lobster traps?

On day 2 I pretty much just walked the city. I went downtown and just walked for a few miles. Then I walked a path up the coast for ... maybe a mile and a half?

I didn't wind up taking a lot of pictures on my trip, which is weird for me. I brought my OMD and 2 lenses. But I guess I just wasn't catching a lot that suits the range of things I shoot. The one pic I kinda wanted of downtown Portland would have meant standing in the middle of the street and no.

Anyway, ( Day 2 I rode a vintage train and went to a cryptozoology museum. )
