Point Lookout after a fresh snowfall
Point Lookout Resort and Conference Center in Northport Maine has 387 acres overlooking Penobscot Bay. At the top of the mountain sits the conference center with spectacular views of the surrounding sea and islands. In the winter, after a fresh blizzard, the snow looks smeared across the landscape like fresh cake fondant. It is brittle up here, the mountain is hushed. At 2:30 p.m., the sun is about two hours from setting and slanted through the heavily coated pines and spruce. You can't help picture a winter wedding up here. (And of this week, in Maine, it is now legal for everyone.) Sometimes after a really unsettling day, a few minutes with the cold, the setting sun and the quiet beauty of Maine is all you need.
