Above, I’m sharing more views of our cliff walk in Maine, this time on film.
The colors were really surprising and left a lasting impression; the water was a vibrant shade of aquamarine that day (if it wasn’t so damn cold, I would’ve thought we were in the Caribbean…).

Also: I’ve been enjoying NYC, a video by the super-talented Jessica Williams.
the blue hour 
Just gorgeous…I can feel that water, hear the ocean, really see those beautiful rocks…wish I was there instead of sitting in front of a computer in an office cubicle….sigh. Thank you so much for posting these.
The photos are terrific and a great landscape. Thanks for sharing.
I love these images, they are almost carrying me away from rainy Vienna :)
these remind me a lot of cornwall.
such a good shots, ferry, they tell a great story.
I love the sea, the light, the shadow with your shots,
thank you for the sharing
love these, Brian. The colors of winter.
maine is so beautiful. i’ve always felt drawn to it.
love these! esp first and third row. have been following your blog for a while and always love it. thanks also for the various recommendations – i went to cafe coutume while in paris last week and it was lovely! hope you are enjoying brooklyn … from a fellow new yorker.
Maine is so beautiful
That jagged rock is so beautiful!
the beach in wintertime is one of my very favorite places to be. you’ve captured yours expertly.
incredible! perfect display of winter colors (minus the snow, which is a good thing)
Feeling that wind and fresh air from here. Jealous in a good way ;)
I love the colors you captured! It looks like a place full of mystery and magic. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photographs.
this color scheme is so rich and beautiful. i adore these photos.
Just signed up to follow you. Love your eye, the flatness of the light. Just lovely. Inspiring. Is it rude to ask what type of film you used in the above post? I’m all analog right now after 20 years away and studying various film qualities – trying to find my favorites.
These photos were all taken with Portra 400.
I grew up in Maine with Lynsey. She introduced me to your blog and photography. I am loving your photos from your visit to Maine and More and Co! They make me homesick.
seeing your photographs makes me wish I could smell the ocean air and taste that salty breeze. they’re lovely.

Gorgeous in every way. That photo of rocks is perfectly divine…especially since this week I’m totally in love with smooth river-rocks. Wonderful, wonderful post.
Beautiful, makes me long for a place I’ve never even been! Thanks Brian, it’s always such a pleasure visiting here.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing!
first trees, then waves. what a gorgeous sequence of photos
please keep it coming!
this post is like a picture book. i can read the story without a word.
When I was a child I once collected shining pebbles on the beach. They looked like gemstones. Then they dried, and the magic disappeared. Years later, I discovered that you can always make them shine: you just need some water, and they’ll be gems again.
Prouts Neck? I love that walk–in fact, just did it Christmas week when I was home for the holidays. Summer is an especially beautiful time there; the water can be turquoise, green, deep blue.
is this the marginal trail between freeport and portland? we did it in december and it was so beautiful. there is a large white house halfway through that has been abandoned and would be marvelous to fix up. i also took video on my phone so i can listen to the waves while i’m eating lunch at work here in pennsylvania.
The palette of blues and browns in this group of photos is terrific.
superb set, brian. happy new year to you!
These were so lovely to see on a mid January day in Michigan. I lived in Maine for a few years. My son was born there. I miss it. I miss the ocean.
Agh, you’re killing me. Like Kristen, I’m from Maine and it doesn’t take much to make me homesick. These are gorgeous, and make me realize its been far too long since I have visited the Maine Coast in the wintertime.
i love the two with the red rose hip against the teal water. that is an incredible color combination
oh! brian!
Where in Maine? We go to Mt. Desert each summer. It looks like the walk @ either Wonderland or Ship Harbor, in Bass Harbor/Tremont.
Stormy and wintery, great photos.
