A bit of color

2 mins read

With fall settling in, Franklin County’s many talented photographers are here to bring readers the best shots of nature and those who live in it. The basis for the Sunday collections goes back to March 2011, when author and photographer Jane Naliboff of Chesterville began sending a few pictures each week. Other photographers have since joined the effort, creating one of the Bulldog’s most widely appreciated features. If you are interested in contributing, please send photos with a caption and your name to thedailybulldog@gmail.com.

  1. Another great collection! Wonder how many notice what’s missing in Scott’s photos of Ridge Rd in Chesterville.
    It’s a favorite stumper of mine. Hint: it’s rare for a road with residences.

  2. @Patb. Power Lines! South Strong Rd and River Rd between Boothbay and Damriscotta also have no power lines. It is so cool!

  3. I only guessed that Ridge Road might be an esker; I wondered if it were man-made. Interesting piece of information, and in all the times I’ve driven it, I hadn’t noticed the lack of power lines.
