This place looked kinda run down but it may have been just winter wear and tear. Pretty majestic looking though!

| No paved streets or steet lights! |
For some reason I didn't get a good picture of the Monhegan Church. We were on the island on a Wednesday night but, they don't have a midweek service.

There is a funny tradition that the children of the island have. When someone graduates from 8th grade they go to the mainland for high school. The day they leave on the boat, all the children go to the dock to see them off. As the boat is leaving all the kids left behind jump into the water!

| Lobster Traps! |

| And more Lobster Traps! |
Besides tourism, the main business of the island is Lobsters!! This is a very familiar sight on Monhegan.

Great pictures. I think I would miss the sun after a while though.

Yes Brother Davy, we went at the wrong time of the year!...or the right time if you tend toward being whimsical and melancholy...
