When it’s a beautiful summer evening in Maine? You head to the coast for dinner… and since we hadn’t been there in a few years, we drove to Cooks Lobster and Ale House.
In order to get to the Island where it’s located, you drive over the world famous Cribstone Bridge.
.
.
Why do I say world famous? Because it’s literally the only one in the world.
.
.
Built in 1927 of stacked granite blocks held together by gravity alone, the unique design allows high tides and rough seas to pass through freely.
.
.
It’s a marvel of engineering and has had only minor repairs since it’s construction nearly a century ago.
.
.
We tend to take it for granted in these parts but it’s actually a major tourist attraction.
.
.
Of course the beautiful coast of Harpswell and Orrs Island don’t hurt either.
.
.
Quintessential Maine fishing villages. Small, rugged and built to last.
.
.
Onward to the restaurant… past stacks and stacks of lobster traps.
To be continued.

River's world..... 
What a beautiful view, and I’m sure the ride over wasn’t too bad either.

I imagine there are many birds nesting in those hundreds of openings between the granite blocks. I wonder if the boobies take terns sharing the best sites, or go huffin’ and puffin all over the place until they run out of petrels.

You’d think so, but no. The tides are too high and storm waves too powerful.

World famous, eh? Can’t say I’ve ever heard of it, though it does look pretty cool.
