Last week’s Mystery Photograph was from one of our favorite towns, Camden, Maine, taken at a time we have never been in Camden, during the winter. The charming harbor looks mighty cold. The photo came from Charles Anderson of Hartwell.

Recognizing it were George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Ruthy Lachman Paul, Norcross; Dr. Luann Hammami, Dacula; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, who wrote:  “This is one of your favorite places to eat lobster rolls …Camden Harbor, Maine. The photo was shot facing south from Harbor Park, just above the Megunticook Falls. The large, gray building with two turret caps on the roofline (in the top-right of the photo) is the Grand Harbor Inn.

“Camden is often called the ‘Jewel of the Maine Coast’ because of its stunning harbor, picturesque town, and proximity to both mountains and the ocean. This photo demonstrates that the area is gorgeous, no matter what the season! In the dead of winter, parts of the harbor can freeze over, enticing people to actually ice skate in the harbor. But there is an even more popular, unique experience that visitors can experience when visiting Camden in the winter. Just four miles from where the photo was taken is the Camden Snow Bowl, a small, town-owned ski area located on the eastern slope of Ragged Mountain. While the mountain is only 1,080-feet high, what makes this unique is that it is the only ski area in the contiguous United States to have a clear view of the ocean from the summit.”
