When I'm brainstorming to come up with the perfect list of places to feature in an article, I find myself wondering if any have been featured in movies I've seen. A quick Google search usually reminds me that Hollywood hasn't spent nearly enough time in our state, but that never stops me from imagining the scenes that could be shot anywhere from the coast to the country. I once spent part of a three-hour hike imaging that I was in The Hunger Games. Lucky for me, my time in the woods simply ended with a jar full of wild blueberries and not something more dramatic. But, the backdrop of my hike certainly could have been used for any Hollywood outdoor scene. I imagine the preview credits beginning with: "In a world where one Maine hiker is faced with all the blueberries she could ever imagine!" Maybe I don't believe in Hollywood...

Anyway, here are 14 other incredible views that feel like stills from an epic Oscar nominated film!

1. "In a world where the fog descends on Western Maine...and never lifts..."

2. "In a world where Peaks Island is overtaken by the most magnificent sunrise the North has ever seen!"

3. "In a world where only two people are left to ride horses on Popham Beach!"

4. "In a world where only one man remains on earth. And he must clear all of Maine's snow. By himself..."

5. "In a world where one woman conquers the 100 mile wilderness with nothing but her Beans rucksack and bare feet to guide her..." At least she's got the view of Long Pond to ease her pain.

6. "In a world where every sunset brings you closer to a peaceful infinity..."

7. "In a world where only one mode of transportation is left. And it's a little water-logged..."

8. "In a world where a July Katahdin hike turns...chilly..."

9. "In a world where Jordan Pond is actually a habitat full of mystical fairies. And the bubbles are sleeping giants..." Actually, that could be true.

10. "In a world where saving the human race can only be managed using this viewing thing at Cape Elizabeth..."

11. "In a world where humans no longer exist and moss is the only thing hiking the Appalachian Trail..."

12. "In a world where the insignificance of our existence was made real by Nubble Lighthouse..."

13. "In a world were a mild December brought the wrath of angry ice onto Southern Maine..."

14. "In a world where Stonington reminds us of the way life should be."
