Photographer Sara Gray spent time last summer exploring two locations in her home state of Maine to capture a quintessential rite of passage for many a New Englander. The lobster shack — an iconic symbol along the coast of New England — is a beacon to those who crave lobster fresh from the the Atlantic Ocean. Please enjoy some of our favorite photographs from her travels that capture the experience and the beauty of the Maine coast.
