2021 Photo Challenge, #17, About Me

Description

I grew up in a little fishing village on the Maine coast, years before the onslaught of souvenir shops and lobster trinkets. My brothers and I were very lucky to have the ocean, lakes, and fantastic deep woods. Wild beauty all around. Simpler times, for sure.
