Appreciating the Backside

Rockland, Maine; June 21, 2013

A white, three-story building with a steep roof stands by the water. The structure has dark green shutters and a weathered, rusty base. A metal ramp and railing lead up to it. The sky is a deep blue, transitioning to lighter shades near the horizon. Rocks and a small body of water surround the building, suggesting a coastal setting.
Backside of the Rockland Harbor Breakwater Light, which seemed worthy of attention…and not just because shooting the front side is difficult without a boat or plane. — J. Matthew Buchanan
