If you’ve ever thought the idyllicism of Maine was exaggerated in media, you’d be egregiously wrong.
Pictured below is my high school, Lee Academy, an open campus comprised of a handful of buildings all nestled within the evergreens and ever-changing colors of Central Maine’s wilderness.
While I could never see myself living full-time amidst its harsh and unyielding ruggedness, there are parts of me that miss its raw and untouched landscape and simplicity... especially seeing photos like this of my homeland dressed in its autumnal vibrance. I can almost smell the sweet, sugar scent of the turning leaves lingering in the crisp, cool air.
