Sunday Sunday Sunday - without the football

It was great sitting out in the sun with coffee, jackets were an option not a requirement.  Some bacon, some laundry and then off for a trip to the Penobscot Narrow Bridge.  Last time was a bit cloudy and we wanted to try the observation deck so today is the day.  
There is an elevator right to the top where you are surrounded by glass on all four sides.  447 feet below the Penobscot river glows in the fall sun.
















Right below the bridge is one of the two Fort Knox's (without the gold) it is extremely well preserved and dates from 1861.  Never fired upon it remains a great example of granite work which Maine is famous for.  Every October the volunteers,Friends of Fort Knox, put on a great haunted house.


All in all a great day wandering around followed by some down time waiting for the sunset.
