I miss this place.
Rocks and water,
And an amazing trees-to-people ratio.
How quiet the harbor is at night.
Listening to waves lapping against the seawall.
Seeing stars for the first time in a year.

Moody weather.
Being inside with a fire going.
A sense of remoteness of the Maritimes.
Who I miss!

(If you're not familiar...the TV show centers around the quirky characters and supernatural 'troubles' affecting a the fictitious seaside village of Haven, Maine.
It's kindof a X Files meets Scooby Doo - and it films here!
In addition to the pleasure of recognizing settings in various episodes,
And seeing the cast and crew around town

Being in a place where you still sense the past all around you.
(My brother in law is regaling kids with a story about The Teaser, an American privateer ship, that exploded to avoid being captured during the war of 1812...with present day sightings in the harbor, and in an area house.
If you believe in that type of thing.
And in this place, it's easy to...)
I snapped this same photo last year, from the dock of a 100 year old boat house.
The joy of nothing really changing....
