Owls Head Light




Owls Head Light (12 miles from Camden) is an active Light dating from 1828 marking the south entrance of Rockland harbor. The lighthouse is located in Owls head Light state Park, and the keepers house is still used as quarters by the Coast Guard. It is accessible by road, with spectacular views and photo opportunities. These photos were taken on a beautiful Spring day, April 2008.

Belted Galloways in Mid Coast Maine!


Belted Galloway cattle, originally from Scotland, are quite a landmark in Rockport, Maine! The famous black and white 'Oreo Cookie' cows at Aldermere farm are now one of the area's popular attractions.

Aldermere Farm , owned and managed by Maine Coast Heritage Trust, is a traditional New England saltwater farm, with rugged fields, weathered stone walls, a rocky shoreline, and simple yet elegant structures. The farm’s 136 acres include fields, woods, and wetlands, as well as the buildings and grounds. Enjoy a beautiful walk from Blue Harbor House to see the 'Belties' or take the car and enjoy the scenery on the way.
