L. L. Bean is an "outdoor" store, and here's a
very attractive outdoor display of tents next to a lovely reflecting pool. |
|
The handles on the entrance doors are canoe paddles. |
|
There are large open spaces such as this one leading from
the front entrance to the main floor. |
|
This open space turns 90 degrees and continues into the
store. |
|
The central stairwell leading to the second floor sales
area is built into a pond, from which these ducks are forever taking
flight. |
|
Shelves of shirts in the tall men's department on the main
floor. |
|
Here's an overview of the tall men's area. There are
several specialty departments on the lower level such as fishing and
hunting. Each of these is the size of a normal specialty store. |
|
A very large open area inside the side entrance. Through
the doors you can see the separate building housing the L. L. Bean Kids
store. |
|
The Maine moose. Note the clock face in the background and
the chimes to the left of the moose head. |
|
To the right are the clockworks that run the clock face in
the pictures above. To the left is a giant music-box reel that operates
those chimes. |
|
The sun was setting as we prepared to leave L. L. Bean. |
|
Check out that sky. I wonder whether every Maine sunset is
so romantic. |
|
We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Gritty McDuff's Brewhouse.
That's Marie and Bob on the left and Susan and Jan on the right. Oh, yes,
and the waiter behind. |
