  • File:Winter Harbor.jpg, although slanted, seems better in scope to me. Why not? (By the way, you don't mean disbursed=spent.) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:40, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thank you, Ikan, for the wording note (corrected). I must have been thinking about the money I do not have when I really meant “dispersed” as in distributed or spread over a wide area.
Winter Harbor is indeed spread out. The image you reference does not show much of the town but primarily shows the ferry dock in Henry Cove to the east. This is where you catch the local ferry to Bar Harbor, or sight seeing boats to Petit Manan. There is also a separate commercial harbor for fishing boats and the fishing cooperative. A small main street of two blocks of stores and restaurants is partially shown on the left. IMO, this nomination best shows most of Winter Harbor as a collection of homes, cottages, B&Bs, the post office, boat launch facilities and three restaurants. It was taken from the ferry dock without benefit of a drone. --GRDN711 (talk) 13:10, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
