The Henry L. Gray house was begun by Henry Tracy as a residence for Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Hodgkins, who had purchased the land from J. A. Freeman. The cellar was just completed and some of the lumber on the spot when Mr. Hodgkins died. Later, the property was purchased by Mr. Gray and the house built as his home. Work begun on it November 27, 1907, and the Grays moved in on February 10, 1908. Mr. Gray built the store to the south of his house in 1931.

To get this photo, I waited until late fall after the leaves were gone. I parked at the Holiday Inn which was closed for the season and walked across Route 3 to the metal guard rail along the section of road that crosses Duck Brook. Once in the ravine, I located a spot at the edge of the water that I thought had the clearest view of the bridge, and even from there I could only see two of the three arches. The left and right arches each span 89', but in the photo, the left arch is completely obscured by evergreens. I set up a tripod with a Canon 5D Mark III camera and a Canon 24mm tilt/shift lens. With the camera mounted in landscape orientation, I shifted the lens all the way down to capture the lower part of the scene and all the way up to catch the top of the bridge. Because the ravine was deep in shadow while the inner part of the center arch was in full sunlight, I had to take multiple exposures ranging from a half second to 125th second, which is seven full stops, at f/11 with ISO set to 50. Later in Lightroom and Photoshop, I stitched the lower and upper halves and manually blended the exposures. Note also that I focused on the bridge, but also took a shot focused on the large rock in the foreground and blended-in parts of that image to get more depth of field. - George Soules

This picture was taken on a foggy morning from the entrance to the construction site during renovations to the hotel shortly after its purchase by Tim Harrington in September 2020. The photo shows the building in the process of being painted white. The top of the tower in the upper right is still painted yellow, the hotel's signature color for many years.

Cranberry Isles, Little Cranberry Island, Islesford
Illuminated by 23 volunteer light painters. For years these boathouses had been used to build, store, and repair boats. Now all but one have been convert to private residences. There is one boathouse protecting a 100 year old 'friendship sloop' and still has the underwater rails intact.
