]]> Erosion at Popham tag:vox.com,2009-11-15:asset-6a00cdf7e829c8094f0123f17cbc6f860f 2009-11-15T18:32:43Z 2009-11-15T18:34:40Z Maine Man http://maineview.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

Here's an update on the ongoing erosion at Popham beach, which looked like it had abated last summer. It's definitely getting worse. This photo is looking east, towards the main beach from the shore of the Morse River.

Here's a view of the dune/bank. Clearly there isn't much under the forest holding things together.

I saw this tree today. All that red is crab apples, not leaves. I'll have to come back in the morning sometime so I can get it in full sun.

Food for the birds. Flocks of robins and waxwings will be by to eat them in the early spring, once they thaw and are sweet. If they wait long enough, the'yll get tipsy on them. That's usually a comical sight.

Here's the road up to Phil's farm.

Twilight looking east (the above view is north, like Canada). I must admit it's a bit odd posting photos from Vermont here, but I contend that if you look hard enough through the notch north of the White Mountains, you can see Maine. So anything else from the same location is legit!
