    It’s so different how one can live at the edge to the water. We live at the coast but it’s so different living on such a water. Is it a lake?

    What a pretty sight! I love the water’s reflection–beautiful photo, Eliza!

    When you live there, it’s definitely not far from the water! Views must be spectacular.

    • Eliza Waters's avatar Eliza Waters says:

      Living close to water is always attractive, so long as it isn’t storming! These buildings were flooded during Irene and it took months to get them back in shape, you could hardly tell now.

  13. What a beautiful scene. That water looks like a mirror!

    What a perfect reflection!

    So are they on stilts of some kind, or concrete blocks, to prevent then from being flooded if/when the water rises?

    • Eliza Waters's avatar Eliza Waters says:

      They are cantilevered, of steel and wood construction, but they seem to survive floods. The last was 2011, which caused a lot of damage and closed many businesses. I saw mud being shoveled out first floor windows back into the river, ugh!

  16. My goodness! I should say so. I don’t remember ever seeing anything like this in Maine.

  17. Robin's avatar Robin says:

    Living on the edge for sure! Looks like a beautiful day. 🙂

  18. Now that’s close Eliza. Wouldn’t want to sleep walk 🤣❤️🙏

    From the concrete beneath them, I suspect the river rises from time to time. Otherwise? A beautiful place to live!

    • Eliza Waters's avatar Eliza Waters says:

      Yes, it is lovely to sit out and enjoy the river. My friend loved living there, but floods occasionally do occur (she was there for Hurricane Irene, and everyone evacuated safely).

  20. Lovely photo of a beautiful scene 😊

  21. Serene scene Eliza is it near the Bridge of Flowers town?

  22. tomwhelan's avatar tomwhelan says:

    Lovely light and reflections, such calm water, a peaceful image. Another reason to visit Shelburne Falls!

  23. Maria's avatar Maria says:

    A beautiful place! How far does the water rise in the spring?

    • Eliza Waters's avatar Eliza Waters says:

      There is a dam not far to the left and they open a sluice way to let out torrents of water. Salmon used to run there before the dam was built and it is still called Salmon Falls.

  25. lovely reflections!
