Misty Morning on the Bridge
I went out a little early this morning to capture some photos from the Fort Street Bridge while the river was still foggy. The fog over the river gave the old power plant a ghostly appearance — fitting, given that it’s slated to be torn down to make way for the Caribou Riverfront Redevelopment project.…

Walkin’ ‘Round ‘Bou

Fort Street Bridge
I live Caribou, Maine, on the east side of the Aroostook River. Nearly every day since Kim and I bought our house in 2008, I’ve crossed the Fort Street Bridge to get to town for groceries, work, etc. That means that I’ve crossed this bridge approximately 10,000 times since we’ve lived here.
