Maine Kantele Institute : The kantele is a traditional Finnish lap-harp with a 2000-year history; it stands as one of the most important symbols in Finnish culture. This gallery comprises a sampling of images shot at the 2008 Maine Kantele Institute held in Lisbon Falls, Maine and sponsored by Kantele Laulu. This year's institute featured workshops on playing the traditional music of Finland as well as a builders' workshop, guided by Erkki Okkonen and designed to take participants from raw wood to playable instrument.
You can read more about Kantele Laulu's mission and activities at their website: http://www.kantelelaulu.com and get a full recap of this year's institute at The Armchair Critic's blog: http://snipurl.com/3t0uu.

Penobscot Narrows Bridge : I can say with 99% certainty that the Penobscot Narrows Bridge, a cable-stay structure spanning 1,161' and housing an observatory at +400' elevation, will be the most amazing structure built in Maine during my lifetime. It has been an absolute marvel watching it rise from the banks of the Penobscot River. For the complete story, visit http://www.penobscotnarrowsbridge.com/bridge.html.
