PORT CLYDE — The spirit of resilience echoes through the coastal community of Port Clyde, and this July it takes center stage in a remarkable photography exhibition sponsored by the Herring Gut Coastal Science Center, Port Clyde Strong Committee and Cushman Creative. Titled “#portclydestrong,” the exhibition encapsulates the indomitable spirit and strength of the community in the face of adversity.

“#portclydestrong” is a collaborative effort made possible through the generosity of shop owners and community members. Photographer Cheryl Clegg, owner of Cheryl Clegg Photography in Waltham, Mass., who spends her summers in Maine, has captured the essence of this coastal community. Through her lens, she offers a poignant visual narrative that reflects the heart and soul of this coastal enclave.
