A Seat on the Shore: Quietly Admiring the Maine Coast
Authors: Nance Trueworthy Photographer: Nance Trueworthy
As journalist and editor David Tyler writes in his introduction, "Exploring the Maine coast is like a treasure hunt. On every trip you find a new jewel: a secluded beach, a Victorian inn by the shore, or a weathered fishing wharf with a melange of colorful skiffs." In this book, veteran photographer Nance Trueworthy often takes the reader off the beaten track, to places where, as Tyler puts it, "we can leave our harried lives behind and just sit, wondering at the beauty of this shoreline."
In addition, however, "Nance shows us places that we think we already know in a new light. In one photo, we see beach grass near Mackworth Island in the brilliant light of a late-fall afternoon. In another image, we see the fog lifting off the glittering stones of Seawall Beach on a summer day."
In many of the beautiful images in this book, there are one or more comfortable chairs, just waiting for the reader to "set a spell" and take in the beauty of Maine’s extraordinary coast.
