|| Sebago, Maine is a blip on the radar to most people. At the outskirts of town you’re an hour away from the nearest city, and when you’re in town you’re forty minutes from the nearest highway. Stop signs exist only when roads cross in a way that necessitates legal signage and stoplights are non-existant. Houses are spaced far apart and yards are given room to breathe. Really, living in Sebago is about living in a certain amount of solitude. Solitude is rare and replenishing; these days it isn’t often that you’re treated to clear skies, quiet nights, and unpolluted horizons. ||

No Place Like Home

Some night photos of the homestead here in Sebago, Maine.

Without all the light pollution of a big city exposures like this would take forever at ISO 100 so I pushed the shots to 3200. Excuse the grain, but when you’re staring at the stars the last thing you want to do is look at yet another screen.
