Maine in the Fall
A few times each year, the Bangor Water District opens the Thomas Hill Standpipe to the public. Last Wednesday was one of those days and I got the chance to snap some pictures of this city from on high.
Pictures after the jump.
This is downtown Bangor. It's not a big city, but there's 'never a lack of things to do.' Sorry. Bad joke. It really is a nice city.
As you can see, the trees are beginning to turn. This is also a view of Bangor. It's basically a small city cut out of the woods. Drive 10 miles in any direction out of the city, and you're in the middle of nowhere.
This is the park near the Standpipe.
The Standpipe, from the ground. It's hard to capture just how big this thing is.

I googled Standpipe hoping to find one after reading the word in my book, am shocked to find the actual standpipe the book was referring to. Stephen Kings 'IT'. Im so glad you posted this photo and let me see it as it is in real life.
