In the afternoon, we walked to Lane’s Island Preserve on Vinalhaven Island. It felt wild and secluded. The three of us wandered on our own for a couple of hours (well, one of us took a little nap, too… ). There were very faint paths through the grasses, bushes and trees. After following a certain path for a while, I would come upon a small cove – other paths led me to a rocky promontory or around the headland of the island. One path took me to a cemetary and then a single picnic table. I picked wild raspberries and ate them as I walked. It was silent, except for the wind & the waves in the distance. I watched 2 girls wade across Indian Creek. I sat and listened.

(I took a lot of photos on Vinalhaven, it was a visual overload. It might get tiresome to see so many photos of the same place but maybe you’ll like seeing it as much as I did. I have more that I’ll share soon…)
RTS showed me his pictures of that day and yours are so beautiful & peaceful. More please :)
always such beautiful and quiet photos, gorgeous
At first I thought the post was about and island called – Walking Lanes but then I figured out that you were walking on Lanes Island. No matter, from you photos (very nice) it looks like a place I’d like to go
vinalhaven is such a beautiful place. looking forward to seeing more photos.
Beautiful loneliness..
Great Brian!
I just saw Moonrise Kingdom by Wes Anderson, and these pictures remind me so much of their island. Your pictures are incredible. Thank you for sharing.
All of your Maine photos look like Robert McCloskey’s books come to life. I expected Sal and her family to show up. Thank you so, so much for capturing it. “Time of Wonder” indeed.
