I Went Looking for Lobster Boats and Instead Found Cupid
One of the easiest ways to learn about a place is to simply take a walk and look around. It provides an entirely different perspective than driving about. Plus, you’ll find any number of photo opportunities while traveling on foot.
That’s exactly what I did across several mornings during our recent vacation to Cape Porpoise, Maine.
A Walk Back in Time
On my walks, I spotted a variety of interesting visuals that reflected the slower pace of this summer vacation spot. It felt like a walk back in time.
Steel Beams Instead of Lobster Boats
But all was not quiet and relaxed.
I also ran across a contrasting story for this sleepy town: a massive construction project – the $8.6 million rebuild of the Cape Porpoise Pier, used for commercial fishing.
I Met Cupid
Though all the machinery and steel in this construction zone certainly projected a different vibe, this space somehow still maintained an even and friendly energy.
I spotted a happy dog calmly watching the build. He looked out of an open window from a nearby truck. His human was one of the construction workers I chatted with. The man explained to me that his dog was a rescue from a life-threatening situation.
His dog’s name: Cupid.
Don’t Forget your Camera
You just don’t know the stories you’re going to find when you set off on a walk.
And this certainly isn’t just a vacation activity to practice. Whether you’re near or far from home, there’s often an unexpected photo around the next corner.
Or you can simply look straight ahead. Another headline may appear right in front of you.
