A year in mid-coast Maine.
I hope you enjoy this trip through Belfast and beyond. Located in mid-coast Maine, in Waldo County, Belfast is renowned for its historic buildings, fine architecture and old sea captain’s homes; its working waterfront and unspoiled character.
This photo journey begins in May and continues through the four seasons. So, come along and see our home. Please give the pictures time to load, it’s worth the wait.
