![This frame and next, locally famous come-hither "flag" truck -- a 1954 Ford -- parked in perpetuity alongside Highway 90 between Rockland and Rockport. It has seen better days, one of the reasons I wanted to photograph it. [UFP091712]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/ME-2012-2014/i-jpmsd6Z/4/66f82b62/Ti/TFB_3519-Ti.jpg)

![Wooden bridge in town of Newry, a few miles north of Bethel, measures 87 feet in length and spans the Sunday River. Built in 1872, the structure was closed to vehicular traffic in 1958. It is known as the Artists Bridge for its reputation as the most-photographed, most-painted covered bridge in the entire state. Only 10 remain.[UFP100312]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/ME-2012-2014/i-tXwxMr7/1/2fe6bc31/Ti/TFB_5563-Ti.jpg)

![Feed shed at Aldermere, a well-known 136-acre heritage farm in Rockport. It is home to more than 100 head of rare Galloway Belted cows, so-called for the white-colored body bands sandwiched by bands of black. See also next three photos.

![Belteds (a.k.a. Belties) masticating merrily in impossibly lush pasture at Aldermere, which offers resident livestock an all-you-can-eat, totally organic diet. The grass "entree" is supplemented with a seemingly endless supply of hay. [UFP092612]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/ME-2012-2014/i-H5Nzc4n/2/5371aa10/Ti/TFB_4842-Ti.jpg)
![Late-afternoon chowdown. Bestowing a love pat to one of the feasting Belties is a resident farmhand. The cows remain outdoors year-round, 24/7. At the age of about two years, the animals find their way to the butcher block. The farm also sells the meat itself. While I was there the sticker price for hamburger -- entirely grass-fed, if you please -- was $6.00 a pound. I refrained from indulging, not so much for the cost but because it meant I would have to cook a meal for myself. Sorry, not in Tom's gastronomic playbook.

![Elevated, close-up view of the same Belties shown in previous frame. Because of the distinctive banding, they are sometimes called Oreo cows. Moo-hoo. [UFP100812]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/ME-2012-2014/i-MRcStzr/1/40d30445/Ti/TFB_6458-Ti.jpg)

![Gigantic cloth flag adorns exterior of general store in Tenants Harbor, another intimate fishing village. Being diplomatic, we didn't ask whether the owner planned to vote for Obama or Romney, although we had an inkling of which voting-booth lever would be pulled.

![Owl's Head Light, Rockland, was built in 1825. It stands atop a tall, steep bank of concrete steps. Worth the effort? Yes, if one is a photographer, the weather is good and the vantage point is either from this vantage point or from a boat or airplane.

![Dusk at Belfast harbor, 25 miles north of Camden on well-traveled Highway 1. Albeit larger, the Belfast harbor is not nearly as picturesque as Camden's. The town, however, is no less historic and not nearly as overrun with tourists in summertime. Note moon, which obligingly posed, in each shot. Unfortunately, I left the model-release forms in the car. Hope I'm not sued. Mum's the word, OK? [UFP092512]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Travel/ME-2012-2014/i-RGvrRJ9/2/0de844d3/Ti/TFB_4816-Ti.jpg)
![Pedestrian bridge that spans Belfast harbor. Until a new bridge was built nearby, it handled vehicular traffic on Highway 1. A grassroots community campaign spared It from the wrecking ball. This photo was taken midday. That following was taken from the same spot, after the sun had vanished beneath the horizon.
