OK. I've been to Nepal, China and the UAE, but not Maine. MAJOR oversight on my part. Right now, southern Maine - specifically Ogunquit - is poised between fall and winter (although based on temperature, trending rapidly toward the latter). It is simultaneously spare and rich, with austere white clapboards juxtaposed with brilliantly hued and magnificent scenerary. Oh yeah. The restaurants combine haute cuisine with the finest, fresh ingredients. So our post-Thanksgiving quest for sustenance will undoubtedly end well. To get a feel for this wonderful place I've landed, here are a few photos below.

The spareness of winter.

While there were still more leaves on the trees than on the ground, I was graced with another opportunity to see - and capture photographically - more of autumn's beauty. While much of the grandeur was above ground, it was also underwater, which is captured here.

On another, unrelated, note, the 2010 Formula 1 season ended today in Abu Dhabi. The bad news? Lewis Hamilton did not win the drivers' championship, although he did finish second in the race. The good news? Fernando "Rat Boy" Alonso remained a two-time champion. And the "kid" (Sebastion Vettel) won the race and the big prize.





About this blog

This blog's title comes from Ariel's Song in Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Full fathom five they father lies,
Of his bones are coral made,
Those are pearsl that were his eyes;
Nothing of him doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
into something rich and strange.
