Camden Inner Harbor, Summer
Sometime last winter, I posted a picture of the Camden Inner Harbor with schooners all wrapped up for winter–taken from this same place.
Here is that same shot in the summer.
I’m pretty sure the windjammer/schooner in the foreground is the Mary Day. She would be provisioning to go out again for probably a week. The equipment next to the water is getting a stage ready for our July 3rd (Sunday night) fireworks and music. Sunday turned out to be overcast, so the splendid fireworks took place on Tuesday night. I suspect the music went on as planned, though we wound up doing different things on Sunday.
It’s mid-afternoon, so many of the boats that “sleep” in our harbor are out for the day. At night, the harbor is jam-packed with boats of all kinds.
The river comes into the harbor on the far right, and there is a lot of activity on that side of the harbor, which is out of this picture’s frame.
On this side, the harbor is surrounded by beautiful green lawns, with the library sitting above them.
