There is a new exciting tourist attraction in the state of Maine, and photographer Michele Stapleton spent three days capturing breath-taking photos of it from all angles. The unusual highway bridge with 420-foot observatory tower is the only one of its kind in the US and one of only four such observation towers in the World. Named the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory, it has far exceeded expectations in its first year of opening. Mimicking the Washington Monument (which was built with Maine granite quarried nearby) the dramatic obelisk-shaped observatory offers views from Mt. Katahdin to Acadia National Park. Located on U.S. Route 1 (the route of travel to nearby Acadia National Park) the observatory is an instant tourist draw and an engineering marvel and coupled with the adjacent Fort Knox State Park, is a destination for families, history buffs and engineering enthusiasts.
