Among them were Cathy Loew, Peachtree Corners; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Stewart Ogilvie, Rehobeth, Ala.; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. The photograph came from Michael Clark of Atlanta, via Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
He added: “This colorful fall scene is of Camden Harbor at the foot of Mount Battie, all along the coast of West Penobscot Bay in Maine. Camden Harbor is known for its historic windjammers, tall-masted sailing ships from the 19th and 20th centuries. If you want to take an excursion on the oldest such schooner in America, just head to the red building in the center of the mystery photo, and buy tickets to board the Lewis R. French Schooner which was built 1871.
“The Town of Camden is one of only two places on the Atlantic seaboard where the mountains meet the sea, and is considered by many to be one of the prettiest spots in Maine. Mount Battie is a 780-feet high summit in Camden Hills State Park that is topped with a 1921 World War I Memorial Tower, offering the visitors a panoramic view of the town, the harbor and the entire bay.”
