What America Looks Like: Kittery, Maine
The United States as seen by its residents
In Kittery, Maine, a view of the coastline.
Says the photographer: "Kittery is situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Piscataqua River just north of the New Hampshire border. Settled in 1632 by the British, it is Maine's oldest settlement. Many of the state's oldest homes are located here, and diverse examples of fine architecture abound."
