Originally it was a trip to a Russian festival in upstate New York but I would rather call this page

The State of Maine

And here's what I first saw when I turned into a secondary road after driving I-95 across the state.

The first Maine scene

I was told that the state of Maine is a beautiful one but what I saw was beyond my expectations. Everything around reminded me of the best place on earth - my summer house located in Karelia, Russia. Everything from birch trees to small folowers spreaded on road shoulders.

Cammomile?	Some flower

The view of this forest and road was really amazing

Dryed branch and fresh pine tree

Going furhter was even more interesting. Unpaved roads were as pleasing to the eye as they could be and the mounting K. added more flavor to the picture.

Unpaved road and mountain view

Even a large pool of water next to the entrance of the Baxter State Park was very nice.

In deeper forest the small flowers and grass reminded me Karelia sceens.

Bracken?	Bloomy bush

Forest lake was awesome
