Peaks Island, Maine

Tiny islands are wonderful places - ones with few to no cars are the best. Peaks Island is a 20 minute ferry ride from Portland and about 1 mile wide and 2 miles long with a population of 1,000. There are a few cars but most people get by with bikes (though golf carts are pretty popular with the older folks).

A custom seat cover outside the corner store. A lovely match for Gerhard Richter's "Betty" - a painting he made of his daughter in 1988 and one of my favorites...

The island's (no name) bike shop for all your biking needs (including renting tandems!)

  1. Love the blog! Also, I only just now noticed that it's a pun on the phrase "For the love of Christ!"
