| 説明 | Last evening's sunset was quite a spectacle. I went to Pott's Point at the very tip of the West Harpswell peninsula. Shortly after the sunset the sky began to light up. I put on my wide angle lens to try to capture it all. Press L for a large view.The following is from the website of the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust who administer this beautiful little public access area. The closest you’ll find to a high-rise at Potts Point Preserve is a cairn, and it will founder in the next storm. The closest you’ll find to high density housing there are pockets of single-family shells. This is by design. Harpswell Heritage Land Trust acquired the Preserve in 2000 through contributions by neighbors on the northern upland stretch of Potts Point. The Preserve was created to protect the shore from development and to preserve its natural features.Potts Point has long had European residents. The first was Richard Potts. We know he lived in North Yarmouth—now Harpswell—by 1666 because he sat on a jury trying James Robinson, a cooper from Black Point, for the murder of Christopher Collins, also of Black Point. (Robinson was found not guilty. Collins was “slain by misadventure.”)John Bracey confirmed that Richard Potts lived at the end of Harpswell Neck in 1670 and perhaps as early as 1650. In 1701, Bracey “testifieth that, to my certain knowledge, Richard Potts did possess and enjoy and improve & build upon a neck of land called Potts’ Neck, which joins to Merriconeage in Casco Bay, in ye Province of Maine, for above 30 years ago, and ever since till ye Indians in ye time of sd Edmond Andros, Governor, captured him to draw off, and that no Englishman ever subdued or build upon ye sd Neck or ever lived thereon except Richd Potts, aforesd, or his family, in any remembrance which if any had within 50 years past I should have known of it. |
