Unoccupied Lincoln Park

You have likely heard by now that Occupy Maine, one of the longest running occupations, was peacefully evicted from Lincoln Park this week. The last holdouts stayed until Friday and along with public works removed nearly all traces of their encampment from the park. It will be weird walking by here and seeing a lonely park again. Occupy Maine will continue to exist, and per a recent press release by the organization: "We vow to continue to practice a more just way forward; to practice direct democracy until all people who suffer under the power elite know that a new world is possible. We will not lose sight of what brought us together." Here are a couple photos from the park taken late last night:

Occupy Maine: Open

A good amount Occupy Maine members remain in Lincoln Park, pictured below. I believe they are being allowed to stay at least until the current litigation is settled. The Bangor Daily News, which always has surprisingly good coverage of Portland news, has some details from the courtroom proceedings held earlier today here. Portland's own Munjoy Hill News also has great coverage here.

Occupy Maine - The Signs

Occupy Maine signs along Lincoln Park (click image for larger version). It's not often that there are things like this going on in Portland, so it's been good material for photographing. I'll probably have more Occupy Maine related photos in the near future.
