the on-time departure
I guess my recent frustrations with airline travel (and the fun of lots of delays) showed up when I watched the ferry to Little Diamond Island depart exactly on time. It was an amazing, unfamiliar concept.
It’s just a shame that a ferry from coastal Maine to the plains of Texas is not an actual travel option.

In the daylight, I probably wouldn’t have given this place a second look. At night, though…

the obligatory boat (Maine)
I gave myself away as being not from there because I did take a lot of photos like this. In my defense, I do see a lot more boats sitting on dry and dusty ground than I see boats in actual water. I was there (from the looks of things) to capture the novelty of it.

holding it together
Sometimes you do need half a turnbuckle, a bolt with an old square nut, and some wire to feel secure.

faded (old) glory
Just because buildings are vacant/abandoned doesn’t mean there’s nothing to see.
This little vignette’s got metal siding where a big plate glass window used to be with a smaller window stuck in. And – and! – a very tattered and faded American flag.
The other side of the shot has a sign whose awkward wording led me to read it as “home drop off please no furniture” which naturally made me wonder why they wanted people to just drop off vacant homes. Ah, language: so amusing. Ha, my thought process: probably not so amusing.
