Lobster traps in a Maine seaside village.

Hundreds of colorful lobster traps sit on the floating dock, ready to be deployed. Lobsters are the livelihood for the fishermen in this town, who provide the local restaurants with their catch. You can see the boats in the marina used to set and harvest the lobster. This image was taken in late summer at the height of lobster season.
