Freeport is a town in Cumberland County, Maine, United States. The population was 7,879 at the 2010 census. Known for its numerous outlet stores, Freeport is home to L.L. Bean, Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park, and the Desert of Maine.
In 1912, Leon Leonwood Bean opened a store in the basement of his brother's apparel shop at Freeport Corner, selling the "Bean Boot" (or Maine Hunting Shoe). This store, L. L. Bean, became so popular that in 1951 it started remaining open 24 hours a day. Its retail and mail order catalog facilities expanded into Freeport's principal business, and a worldwide company with annual sales of over a billion dollars.
In 1982, McDonald's made plans to tear down an 1850s Greek Revival house to build one of its standard stores. Outcry from residents caused the town to adopt new ordinances concerning what businesses could and couldn't do with their buildings, and McDonald's built the restaurant inside the house, maintaining the exterior appearance. This was one of the first times that McDonald's had been forced to change its restaurant design to fit local requirements.
Dolphins cruise up and down channels all across the seven seas, but few offer the closeup shots that the Freeport Channel delivers. Nothing but fun and a free ride in or out of port!.
Bought a used 100-400mmL from BorrowLenses.com and took it out for its first test ride this trip, nice lens, GREAT service!!

Freeport is a very busy port. These ships were moored on docking platforms, waiting to pull into the terminals for unloading (I think). I thought the storm made the shot moody and more interesting.
The harbor in Freeport, Maine. There is a layer of ice on the water in places but there is a nice reflection off the water. There is not much activity here at this time of year but the Harbor Master's craft is at the ready. It would not be Maine without a lobster and there is one painted on the door.
