Remnants of the Coast

I Have always been fascinated with the way houses and buildings look along the Maine coast. Weathered, rambling, eroded by the weather, these wooden structures tend to take on a depression-era look. The funny thing about most of these structures is that they may look like they have been forgotten, but many of them are very much still in use. They serve as places to call home, to store gear, to hold fish and to sell whatever product there is to sell. These weathered structures also give the coast and its people a certain type of character that can only be found in Maine. They seem to be saying that no matter the weather, or the hard times, these buildings, shacks and doors will keep standing, and like the people of the coast, they will keep on going, keep on serving a purpose.
