Foliage is happening north of Portland, and it's GORGEOUS. I took a few shots out the window on the long drive back yesterday, and though it was overcast, the colors burst. I admit, I tweaked these shots a bit with brightness and saturation, but it's only to emphasize a point, not change the subject entirely.
We had a good day at the mill and UMaine, and we got an earful of things I never thought I'd ever need to know if life. We learned about things like, "forest products", acetic acid, cellulose (a food additive made of wood - think Wonder Bread!), and a whole slew of industry jargon and chemistry terms. We met with Dan at the Mill who used to be a mill worker for 28 years, but now acts as the HR manager. He also used to be VP of his labor union; it's an interesting story. This isn't the story I envisioned when I came to Salt, but it's not NOT interesting. I guess I'm interested in just about anything where I'm learning. Lucky me. We're still honing the story, but we've got a lot of information to start with, and thankfully, Larissa was recording the whole time.
Tomorrow, Marc and I are Damariscotta and Waldoboro bound in search of more winterization stories. I'll be sure to take more foliage shots for those of you who are missing the New England fall.
