We all agree that Maine is the most beautiful state in the country, but have we seen it from all angles? I hadn’t until recently when Lawreston Crute of Lawreston Distinctive Views shared a batch of the most gorgeous aerial view photographs taken from a vantage point we don’t get to see very often. After seeing these aerial views, I was curious about what other areas of our state look like from the air. This list is a collection of some of my favorites.
Without a doubt, these aerial view in Maine will leave you mesmerized. I sure was.
