Continuing with my set of images from last week's trip to Maine

Driftwood Motel, Old Orchard Beach, Maine
#oldOrchardBeach #maine #classicmono #beach #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome #mobilephotography

Black-and-white photograph of a low, roadside motel with a vintage sign reading “Driftwood Motel.” Long afternoon shadows stretch diagonally across the empty parking lot toward a row of vacant deck chairs outside the rooms. Sunlight glances off the windows, revealing faint reflections inside the office. The scene feels silent and motionless, capturing the quiet pause of a beach town closed for the season.

Businesses in #OldOrchardBeach, #Maine are STILL CLUELESS about why their sales are down this summer. Instead of acknowledging the real reasons, they CONTINUE to blame the WEATHER, people going to SLEEP EARLY, or ANY other excuse they can think of! Other than the truth.

Trump's deportations are about racism, not following the law: "Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin later accused the town of “reckless reliance” on the E-Verify program." www.instagram.com/p/DNgr0MwRUON/ #OldOrchardBeach #OldOrchardBeachMaine

Old Orchard Beach, #Maine
7 février 1978

Balayé par des #vents violents, des chutes de #neige et des #marées records, + des 2/3 de la jetée d' #OldOrchardBeach sont détruits.

80 ans de #tempêtes ont provoqué un #raccourcissent #graduel de cette #jetée autrefois longue et #prospère.
