Peter's photos of the Maine Coast capture its essence. His images from the Arctic are also stunning. Should Peter be in the gallery when you visit, he can regale you with many stories. He has also been a friend and caring photographer of the Wyeth's over time. Peter also was a co-founder of the Island Institute. This gallery is definitely worth the time to explore in detail. It is a special place.

Who would not like a seal statue protecting the Rockport harbor. Beautiful setting and Andre is surround by flowers (though I think the seal would prefer fish). It’s nice to visit if you are down the the Rockport Harbor.

Aldmere Farms is a neat place to stop and see the herd of belted Galloway cattle. We stopped on the roadside and watched these beautiful cattle grazing in the field. These type cattle are not seen very often and it was a neat thing to see.

It was very peaceful to sit and relax in the sun. We went twice and enjoyed meeting others and chatting. There was an outside yoga class going on, a food truck, plenty of fresh air, clean and pet friendly.

Nice tromp through the snow to the unexpected clear and amazing view and beautiful stone "hut" at the top.

There is so much to love about this outdoor open air chapel! You drive beside the ocean to get to it. Then, it's nestled back in the woods. You do have some steps to walk up to view it, but it's near the parking area and only a short walk for those that have health or mobility issues. You pass under an archway going up the steps. The view of the Atlantic Ocean is amazing at the top! Trees shape the water, making it look like a postcard. There's probably 4 or 5 benches on both sides in the chapel. It appears to be mostly constructed of wood, but it seemed very sturdy. The flooring looks like cobblestone. There is a plaque on the side wall telling the history of the chapel. It's a good place to pray, reflect, and spend quiet time with God. It's a very scenic short walk back to the parking area. Felt as if I was hiking in the woods. There was nobody else there when we went, and we appreciated that it was not crowded. It was free to enter. On the drive away from the chapel, we passed seals sitting on rocks in the Atlantic Ocean and a white sailboat. There were also a few people walking their dogs. I highly recommending stopping here if in the area. We hope to return again someday soon!
